The IQAC will become a part of the institution’s system and work towards
realisation of 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 overall performance of institutions. For
this, during the post-accreditation period, institutions need to
channelize its efforts and measures towards promoting the holistic academic
excellence including the peer committee recommendations. The guidelines
provided in the following pages will guide and facilitate the institution
in the creation and operation of the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC).
The work of the IQAC is the first step towards internalization and
institutionalization of quality enhancement initiatives. Its success
depends upon the sense of belongingness and participation in all the
constituents of the institution. It will not be yet another hierarchical
structure or a record-keeping exercise in the institution.
It will be a
facilitative and participative voluntary system/unit/organ of the
institution. It has the potential to become a vehicle for ushering in
quality enhancement by working out planned interventionist strategies by
IQAC to remove deficiencies and enhance quality like the “Quality Circles”
in industries.
