Introduction:

The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore proposes that every institution should establish an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) to Mentor, monitor and measure the performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation and quality up-gradation of institutions of higher education. Since quality enhancement is a continuous process, the IQAC will become a part of the institution’s system and work towards realisation of the goals of quality enhancement.

The first step of IQAC is towards internalization and institutionalization of quality enhancement initiatives and develops a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic improvement in the overall performance of institutions. It will be a facilitative and participative voluntary system of the institution. The institutions need to channelize its efforts and measures the holistic academic excellence.
