In pursuance of the National Action Plan, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), for performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation and quality up-gradation of institutions of higher education 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 the institution’s system and work towards realization of quality enhancement and sustenance. The prime task of the IQAC is to develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic improvement in the overall performance of institutions. During the post accreditation period, IQAC will make all efforts and measures of the institutions towards promoting its holistic academic excellence.
