Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)

The IQAC cell is established in the college in 2004 for improvement of quality education.  It is adequately furnished office with computer and internet facility, printer and notice board etc. The regular meetings of the IQAC are conducted in the IQAC Cell.

Understanding the significance of Internal Quality Assurance Systems (IQAS), the IQAC has attempted over the years to systemize processes through which quality enhancement can be achieved.
