In pursuance of the National Action Plan of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore, for performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation and quality up gradation of institutions of higher education, the NAAC proposes that every accredited institution should establish an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) as a post accreditation quality sustenance measure. Since quality enhancement is a continuous process, the IQAC will become a part of an institution’s system and work towards realizing the goals of quality enhancement and sustenance. The prime task of the IQAC is to develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic improvement in the performance of institutions. The IQAC will make a significant and meaningful contribution in the post accreditation phase of institutions. During the post-accreditation period, the IQAC will channelize the efforts and measures of an institution towards academic excellence.

The IQAC should meet at least once in every quarter. The quorum for the meeting shall be two-third of the total number of members. The agenda, minutes and Action Taken Reports are to be documented with official signatures and maintained electronically in a retrievable format.
The role of the coordinator of the IQAC is crucial in ensuring the effective functioning of all the members. The coordinator of the IQAC may be a senior/competent person with experience and exposure in quality aspects. She/he may be a full-time functionary or, to start with, she/he may be a senior academic /administrator entrusted with the IQAC as an additional responsibility. Secretarial assistance may be facilitated by the administration. It is essential that the coordinator may have sound knowledge about the computer, data management and its various functions such as usage for effective communication.
The coordinator of the IQAC will have a major role in implementing these functions. The IQAC may derive major support from the already existing units and mechanisms that contribute to the functions listed above. The operational features and functions discussed so far are broad-based to facilitate institutions towards academic excellence and institutions may adapt them to their specific needs.
The institutions need to submit yearly the Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) to NAAC by end of September every year positively. A functional Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) and timely submission of Annual Quality Assurance Reports (AQARs) are the Minimum Institutional Requirements (MIR) to volunteer for second, third or subsequent cycle’s accreditation. During the institutional visit the NAAC peer teams will interact with the IQACs to know the progress, functioning as well as quality sustenance initiatives undertaken by them.
The Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) may be the part of the Annual Report. The AQAR shall be approved by the statutory bodies of the HEIs (such as Governing Council/ Executive Council/Board of Management) for the follow up action for necessary quality enhancement measures.

To pursue the action plan for performance evaluation assessment and accreditation and quality upgradation of the institutions, IQAC has been established. The prime objective of the IQAC is to evolve a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic enhancement of the performance of the institutions. In tune with this, the institution’s IQAC established on 03.08.2017 has fine-tuned the quality enhancement initiatives, already being implemented. The IQAC establishment has led to the establishment of new Cells like Institution Innovation Council (IIC), Industry Institute and Interaction (III), Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), and Entrepreneurial Development Cell (EDC) to improve Research. The IQAC has also initiated to develop and apply quality benchmarks for academic and administrative activities of the institution. Therefore, all the departments conduct and carry out the activities as per the institutional procedures.
The institution also has come up with an increase in the activities of IPA, ISPOR and NSS as per the suggestions of the IQAC. During the lockdown period, members of IPA have come up with several awareness pamphlets and power point presentations on general health and COVID -19 precautions. The IQAC formation resulted in an increase in the number of research publications. Trainings, Add -on Programs and Certification Programs are a value add towards student and faculty development initiatives.
The IQAC has also brought improvement strategies in facilitating the learner-centric environment towards quality education and faculty development. Usage of technology increased with a focus on participatory teaching learning process. Measures to enhance the infrastructure of the institution were deployed resulting in the establishment of Fire Hydrant System, RO Plant and Digitalization of College Library. The institution is constantly and consistently making steps to turn its weaknesses into strengths, in accordance with the IQAC.
