Operational Features of the IQAC

A byproduct of continuous efforts to establish an institution's goals, create a plan of action to reach those goals, and outline the checks and balances to assess how well each activity is complete disquality assurance. Hence,the foundation for developing processes and tools for ensuring quality is dedication and commitment to improvement rather than merely institutional control. An organization must find the ideal balance between expansion and well-being. Whatever is done in the institution for "education" must be done so with high standards, effectiveness, and efficiency, and the IQAC must make sure of this.

To accomplish this, the IQAC must first set up protocols and methods for gathering data and information on numerous facets of institutional operations. An important part of carrying out these responsibilities will fall to the IQAC coordinator. The units and systems that already exist and support the aforementioned functions may provide a significant amount of support for the IQAC.

Institutions can customize the wide-ranging operational features and functions that have been covered thus far to meet their unique demands while still assisting them in achieving academic success. Institutions are required to affirmatively submit their Annual Quality Assurance Reports (AQAR) to NAAC by the end of September each year.To be eligible for accreditation in the second, third, or later cycle, an institution must meet the Minimum Institutional Requirements (MIR) of having a functioning Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) and timely submission of An Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR). The NAAC peer teams will engage with the IQACs during the institutional visit to learn about their functioning, progress, and quality sustenance activities.

One component of the annual report could be the Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR). The HEIs' statutory bodies, such as the Syndicate, Governing Council, Executive Council, and Board of Management, must approve the AQAR before any follow-up actions for required quality enhancement measures can be taken. TheIQACmaydesignateaspecialwindow tab on its institutional website for the purpose of hosting the AQAR, uploading and reporting on its operations on a regular basis, and storing thefilesandrecordsoftheNAAC,PeerTeamReports,AQAR, and Certificate of Accreditation Outcomes.
