6.5 Internal Quality Assurance System

6.5.1 Instituion has a streamlined Internal Quality Assurance Mechanism

Response:

6.5.1 IQAC Mechanism.

The Internal Quality Assurance Cell of the University chaired by the Vice chancellor is followed by a
composition of members as per the NAAC guidelines. The Quality culture is institutionalised through
steering committee meetings, quality circle meetings and Quarterly University meetings by fixing agendas
on various academic criteria and it’s internalised through Departmental meetings. IQAC facilitates the
institution towards academic excellence consciously, consistently and acts as a catalyst to promote research
and other academic activities. Quality benchmarks were developed in the beginning of every academic
year and the outcomes were achieved by internalizing through Departments. IQAC also derives support
from already existing units like Institute Industry Planning Cell, Sir C.V. Raman Journal club, Magic
Association, International office relations, Abdul Kalam Centre for Research and Innovation, Dr.M.G.R
Digital Learning Monitoring cell. Based on the parameters required by NAAC and that highlighted in the
guidelines of Annual Quality Assurance report the steering committee discusses the areas of shortfalls to
enhance the overall performance of the Institution. The discussion leads to fixing agendas for the
University quarterly Meetings. Through quality circle meetings procedures and modalities to collect data
and information on the set agenda for every quarter University meetings were done. The Departmental
IQAC meetings were organized to work on the procedures designed by the quality circle and hence the
agenda designed by the steering committee were internalized by the Departments through quality circles.
The Director IQAC and the team analyze the minutes of meeting and the data submitted by the
Departments and present it in the University meeting witnessed by all the members of IQAC Composition,
which includes stakeholders like Students, Parents, Alumni and external industry experts. Meanwhile
Faculty training was given in the set agenda through Seminars, Workshops and orientation programs.

As per the IQAC-AQAR guidelines functions expected from IQAC were adopted with utmost care.
