IQAC

As a part of the requirement of post-accreditation quality measures of NAAC, the college established the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) on 1^st June 2005. The IQAC being an integral part of the college, plays a pivotal role in developing a conscious and consistent system that ensures an overall improvement in the functioning of the college.

The IQAC ensures the sustenance of quality measures by having transparency and accountability in its functioning and thus assures all the stakeholders, viz., students, parents, teachers, staff, management, funding agencies, and society about imparting qualitatively proven education.

The IQAC is instrumental in organizing various activities for the smooth conduct of various courses and programs. It conveys meetings at regular intervals and provides directions to undertake activities under different committees, cells, and wings of the college. It organizes an orientation program for the freshers to acquaint themselves with the college environment. It holds staff meetings and student council meetings along with the principal to appraise the curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular activities of the college. It conducts a parent-teacher meet and collects the feedback to be used as a base in formulating policies. It documents and compiles the reports on various activities of the college and submits them to the concerned authorities regularly, i.e., AQAR, AISHE, etc. It helps in updating the infrastructural facilities of the college for the smooth conduct of teaching, learning, and research activities. The planning, implementation, and controlling of all activities of the college are monitored by the IQAC and thereby contribute to the fulfillment of the objectives, vision, and mission of the institution. Thus, the IQAC strikes a happy medium between the health and growth of the institution.
