About Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)

Internal Quality Assurance Cell is established as a mechanism to build and ensure a quality culture at the institutional level. The IQAC is meant for planning, guiding and monitoring Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Enhancement (QE) activities of the institution. The major objective of IQAC is to develop a system for conscious, consistent, and catalytic improvement in the overall performance of institutions.

The IQAC will channelize and systematize the efforts and measures of the institution towards academic excellence. It serves as a driving force for ushering in quality by working out intervention strategies to remove deficiencies and enhance quality.
