Internal Quality Assurance Cell
The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) is an essential system within the University, designed to promote and sustain a culture of quality at an institutional level. It serves as a key mechanism to ensure continuous improvement, aligning with the diverse needs of all stakeholders. Every Higher Education Institution (HEI) should have a flexible internal quality assurance system, structured to support both planning and monitoring of Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Enhancement (QE) initiatives.
The IQAC plays a central role in fostering a collaborative and inclusive approach to enhancing and maintaining quality standards across the institution. Led by the Vice Chancellor, the IQAC is composed of 16 members, working together to promote a strong sense of institutional commitment to quality.
Its main focus is on improving overall quality, embedding quality practices within the institution, and developing efficient systems for academic, administrative, and financial operations. Regular training programs are organized for faculty, staff, and students to support these efforts. The IQAC also works to integrate modern teaching, learning, and evaluation methods while ensuring the adequacy and functionality of institutional support structures. Additionally, it hosts workshops and seminars on quality-related topics and is responsible for preparing the University’s Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR).
