Notes 27.1 The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)

In pursuance of the National Action Plan of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council
(NAAC), for performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation and quality upgradation 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 realising 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 Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) is the cell that is formulated for monitoring the quality
parameters in Higher education Institutions. The committee was formulated based on the
recommendations given by National Assessment Accreditation Committee.
1. Develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic improvement in the performance of
institutions
2. Significant and meaningful contribution in the post-accreditation phase of institutions
3. Channelise the efforts and measures of an institution towards academic excellence
