The IQAC has to ensure that whatever is done in the institution for higher education is done efficiently and effectively. In order to do this, the IQAC will have to first establish procedures and modalities to collect data and information on the various aspects of the functioning of the institution.
Members of the IQAC have been strategically selected so that representation at college statutory bodies such as the management committee, College Development Committee (CDC), including local members and representation of the Faculty members, admin officers and administrative authorities is ensured. As a result, planning and decision making has become easier and smoother and implementation has become efficient.
We consider the faculty as a hub for all college activities, academic and otherwise, and hence assuring academic progression helps in assuring quality. For the curricular, co-curricular, extra-curricular activities and extension activities faculties are assigned managerial roles. Committees are formed for this purpose. It is relevant to note that these committees are carefully constituted to ensure that though leadership is rotated, key experienced members remain the same assuring high performance levels. Such decentralization has helped in participation of educators in quality sustenance.
IQAC shall evolve a mechanism and procedures for
Ensuring timely, efficient and progressive performance of academic, administrative and financial units;
Adoption of relevant and quality academic and research programmes;
Ensuring equitable access to and affordability of academic programmes for various sections of the society;
