Guidelines for the Creation of the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)

and Submission of Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) in Accredited Institutions

Introduction In pursuance of its Action Plan for performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation and quality up-gradation of institutions of higher education, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore 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 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, it will channelize all efforts and measures of the institution towards promoting its holistic academic excellence.

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 it can inculcate 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 to remove deficiencies and enhance quality like the “Quality Circles” in industries. Objective The primary aim of IQAC is

• To develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic action to improve the academic and administrative performance of the institution.

• To promote measures for institutional functioning towards quality enhancement through internalization of quality culture and institutionalization of best practices.

Strategies IQAC shall evolve mechanisms and procedures for

a) Ensuring timely, efficient and progressive performance of academic, administrative and financial tasks;

b) The relevance and quality of academic and research programmes;


c) Equitable access to and affordability of academic programmes for various sections of society;

d) Optimization and integration of modern methods of teaching and learning;

e) The credibility of evaluation procedures; f) Ensuring the adequacy, maintenance and proper allocation of support structure and services;

g) Sharing of research findings and networking with other institutions in India and abroad.

Functions Some of the functions expected of the IQAC are:

a) Development and application of quality benchmarks/parameters for various academic and administrative activities of the institution;

b) Facilitating the creation of a learner-centric environment conducive to quality education and faculty maturation to adopt the required knowledge and technology for participatory teaching and learning process;

c) Arrangement for feedback response from students, parents and other stakeholders on quality-related institutional processes;

d) Dissemination of information on various quality parameters of higher education; e) Organization of inter and intra institutional workshops, seminars on quality related themes

and promotion of quality circles; f) Documentation of the various programmes/activities leading to quality improvement; g) Acting as a nodal agency of the Institution for coordinating quality-related activities,

including adoption and dissemination of best practices; h) Development and maintenance of institutional database through MIS for the purpose of

maintaining /enhancing the institutional quality; i) Development of Quality Culture in the institution; j) Preparation of the Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) as per guidelines and

parameters of NAAC, to be submitted to NAAC.

Benefits IQAC will facilitate / contribute

a) Ensure heightened level of clarity and focus in institutional functioning towards quality enhancement;

b) Ensure internalization of the quality culture; b) Ensure enhancement and coordination among various activities of the institution and

institutionalize all good practices; c) Provide a sound basis for decision-making to improve institutional functioning; d) Act as a dynamic system for quality changes in HEIs; e) Build an organised methodology of documentation and internal communication.


Composition of the IQAC IQAC may be constituted in every institution under the Chairmanship of the Head of the institution with heads of important academic and administrative units and a few teachers and a few distinguished educationists and representatives of local management and stakeholders. The composition of the IQAC may be as follows:

1. Chairperson: Head of the Institution

2. A few senior administrative officers

3. Three to eight teachers

4. One member from the Management

5. One/two nominees from local society, Students and Alumni

6. One/two nominees from Employers /Industrialists/stakeholders

7. One of the senior teachers as the coordinator/Director of the IQAC

The composition of the IQAC will depend on the size and complexity of the institution. It helps the institutions in planning and monitoring. IQAC also gives stakeholders or beneficiaries a cross-sectional participation in the institution’s quality enhancement activities. The guidelines given here are only indicative and will help the institutions for quality sustenance activities.

The membership of such nominated members shall be for a period of two years. The IQAC should meet at least once in every quarter. The quorum for the meeting shall be two-third of the total number of members. The agenda, minutes and Action Taken Reports are to be documented with official signatures and maintained electronically in a retrievable format.

It is necessary for the members of the IQAC to shoulder the responsibilities of generating and promoting awareness in the institution and to devote time for working out the procedural details. While selecting these members several precautions need to be taken. A few of them are listed below:

¶ It is advisable to choose persons from various backgrounds who have earned respect for integrity and excellence in their teaching and research. Moreover, they should be aware of the ground realities of the institutional environment. They should be known for their commitment to improving the quality of teaching and learning.

¶ It would be appropriate to choose as senior administrators, persons in charge of institutional services such as library, computer center, estate, student welfare, administration, academic tasks, examination and planning and development.

¶ The management representative should be a person who is aware of the institution’s objectives, limitations and strengths and is committed to its improvement. The local society representatives should be of high social standing and should have made significant contributions to society and in particular to education.


The role of coordinator The role of the coordinator of the IQAC is crucial in ensuring the effective functioning of all the members. The coordinator of the IQAC may be a senior person with expertise in quality aspects. She/he may be a full-time functionary or, to start with, she/he may be a senior academic /administrator entrusted with the IQAC as an additional responsibility. Secretarial assistance may be facilitated by the administration. It is preferable that the coordinator may have sound knowledge about the computer, its various functions and usage for effective communication.

Operational Features of the IQAC Quality assurance is a by-product of ongoing efforts to define the objectives of an institution, to have a work plan to achieve them and to specify the checks and balances to evaluate the degree to which each of the tasks is fulfilled. Hence devotion and commitment to improvement rather than mere institutional control is the basis for devising procedures and instruments for assuring quality. The right balance between the health and growth of an institution needs to be struck. The IQAC has to ensure that whatever is done in the institution for “education” is done efficiently and effectively with high standards. In order to do this, the IQAC will have to first establish procedures and modalities to collect data and information on various aspects of institutional functioning. The coordinator of the IQAC and the secretary will have a major role in implementing these functions. The IQAC may derive major support from the already existing units and mechanisms that contribute to the functions listed above. The operational features and functions discussed so far are broad-based to facilitate institutions towards academic excellence and institutions may adapt them to their specific needs. Monitoring Mechanism The institutions need to submit yearly the Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) to NAAC. A functional Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) and timely submission of Annual Quality Assurance Reports (AQARs) are the Minimum Institutional Requirements (MIR) to volunteer for second, third or subsequent cycle’s accreditation. During the institutional visit the NAAC peer teams will interact with the IQACs to know the progress, functioning as well quality sustenance initiatives undertaken by them. The Annual Quality Assurance Reports (AQAR) may be the part of the Annual Report. The AQAR shall be approved by the statutory bodies of the HEIs (such as Syndicate, Governing Council/Board) for the follow up action for necessary quality enhancement measures. The Higher Education Institutions (HEI) shall submit the AQAR regularly to NAAC. The IQACs may create its exclusive window on its institutional website and regularly upload/ report on its activities, as well as for hosting the AQAR.


The NAAC Accredited institutions need to submit only the soft copy as word file (.doc/.docx) through e-mail ([email protected]). The file name needs to be submitted with Track ID of the institution and College Name. For example MHCOGN16601-Samudra Arts and Science College, Taliamegu-Maharashtra.doc or EC_32_A&A_143 dated 3-5-2004-Samudra Arts and Science College, Taliamegu-Maharashtra.doc. The Higher Education Institutions need not submit the printed/hard copy to NAAC. The acknowledgements would be sent to the institutions through e-mail.

Mandatory Submission of AQAR by IQAC

So far submission of AQARs was not a Mandatory requirement for Institutions applying to NAAC 2nd and subsequent cycles of Assessment and Accreditation (A&A). It has now been decided by the Executive committee of NAAC that regular submission of AQARs should be made mandatory for 2nd and subsequent cycles of accreditation.

In view of the decision of Executive Committee of NAAC the following will be the pre-requisites for submission of LOI for all Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) opting for 2nd and subsequent cycles of A& A with effect from 16th September 2016:

Æ Having a functional IQAC. Æ The minutes of IQAC meeting and compliance to the decisions should be uploaded on the

institutional website. Æ Mandatory submission of AQARs on a regular basis for institutions undergoing the second

and subsequent cycles of Assessment and Accreditation by NAAC. Æ Upload the AQAR’s on institutional website for access to all stakeholders.


The Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) of the IQAC All NAAC accredited institutions will submit an annual self-reviewed progress report to NAAC, through its IQAC. The report is to detail the tangible results achieved in key areas, specifically identified by the institutional IQAC at the beginning of the academic year. The AQAR will detail the results of the perspective plan worked out by the IQAC. (Note: The AQAR period would be the Academic Year. For example, July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013)

There are 2 ways in which progression is tracked:

For the final semester students, progression is tracked through the Placement cell for information regarding those students who join the industry. For the students who pursue their further education, progression is tracked by departments maintaining copies of their referral letters and migration certificates.

Academic progression tracked through monitoring their performance in the Internal/Pre-final examinations/Class tests. The faculty members enter marks in the faculty monthly report format which automatically color codes each student in terms of their academic performance. Students falling below expected standards are counseled both by the concerned faculty and their mentors. These issues are raised in the PTA sessions with the respective parents to ensure that students perform as per the established standards.

The mentors meet the students weekly and record the progress of students. Students with shortage of attendance & poor academic performance are counseled.

Results of both internal & external examinations are analyzed to take corrective actions.

IQAC conducts periodic academic audits through Rockefeller Habits process and ISO to check for deviation.

tiered program for the overall development of teaching qualities and practices in higher education. The

members are screened, evaluated and identified to be members of the quality cell of the college who are

entrusted with prime areas to work for the growth of the organization.

The Context:

Highly skilled teachers are the single most important influence on a students’ success.

On the whole, skilled teachers portray self-confidence, view their classroom as a community of thinkers,

deftly exploit opportunities to cultivate positive relationships with their students, instruct in a student-centred

fashion, demonstrate subject area mastery, and contribute to the field as a whole via leadership and service.

Each faculty goes through a series of learning through the Centre for teaching and learning to improve their

teaching learning experience.

The Practice:

The training provided by the Centre for Teaching and Learning is divided into three levels, Level-0, aims to

train the new staff of the college. The Level-0 has been digitized indigenously by the Centre team and is now

available everyday of the year as a self-learning (e-learning model) tool. The staff members go through the

different aspects of the training component and attend an examination at the end of each training program

and a comprehensive test at the end of the entire program. The faculty members embark on their

departmental responsibilities only once this training is over. Unless the trainee achieves the given qualifying

score in the tests, he/she is required to continue with (redo) the training.

The second level is the Level-1 program which is delivered in the months of July and September every year

for all the faculty members of the organization and the group of institutions as well. The level 1 is a four-day


session to be done in co-ordination with external experts. The level- 1 mainly focuses on managing

classroom environment, effective delivery, teaching etiquettes and integrating research into teaching. At the

end of level 1 there is a demo session by each participant for effective assessment of learning.

The third level is Level-2 which is executed for the top 12 members of the college. Level-2 is a four day

event, consisting of group discussions on a topic related to teaching followed by case studies on top schools

by the participant.

Evidence of Success:

This practice has been in place since 2013 and has shown significant improvement in the classroom delivery

and motivation levels of the faculty members. The Centre for Teaching and Learning has trained many

faculty members who are both in teaching and teaching cum leading positions in the college. The self-

appraisal and student feedback reflect an upward growth of the faculty members who have been trained by

the Centre.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

It is an efficient practice and has shown significant improvement on the day to day activities of the college.

The only problem faced is that sometimes due to leaves and other commitments the faculty members are

unable to attend the training organised by the centre and miss out on the chance for the growth. The faculty

members then have to wait for the next training that is conducted to be able to attend and move on to the next

level. Faculties after training often leave the organization thus the money spent on the growth of the faculty

member by the management cannot be recovered through the output of the faculty member.

Note:

It is an efficient practice to ensure continuous learning of the faculty members. The faculty members are

given special cash awards after successfully completing the levels of CTL.

CTL does consulting and extension activities for other colleges, earning from which is shared with the

college management as per the CTL guidelines. CTL practices have been presented in different components

and have been published as a chapter in teacher’s training books which have been compiled from the

proceedings of such conferences. Chapter 3: “Organizational Culture and Teacher Education” published in

page 339-347 is one such compilation.

Title of the Practice:

“Skill Development Centre”- to train the final year Undergraduate students of the College to make them

employable with branded companies at higher positions.


Goal:

Students come along with their dreams, aspirations and goals. While at school, friends, family, peers etc.

help them form an opinion about what they must or could expect from life. However, when they embark on

their tertiary level education, they come face-to-face with the realities of the industry, its expectations and

the demands it makes on them. This often leaves them confused and they begin to question their

competencies. The Skill Development Centre was conceived in June 2017 with the view that the students of

the final year will be taken through a journey of different aspects of holistic grooming that when coupled

with the knowledge acquired from the classrooms will make them a formidable choice for the industry.

The Context:

The end result of any skills and knowledge-oriented program is the development of a student who is

groomed to be confident about driving himself towards the achievement of his goals and dreams. Such

students become ideal peer mentors and assets for any organization they are a part of. They are motivated,

assertive, driven and goal oriented. Their vision for themselves, their family and the organization they align

with must be extremely clear and that is the ultimate aim of the Centre.

The Practice:

The students are divided into groups of not more than 25 – 30 and they attend 48 hours worth of training

over the course of 2 semesters. During the program, the students undergo a variety of learning aspects

through classroom interactions, group work, guest lectures, events etc.

The training program focuses on developing the right attitude towards work – professional grooming as one

may say. Not just in the way they look but also with respect to the manner in which they approach a

situation/problem or a circumstance. The focus of the program while on one hand is to ensure that the

students are equipped with basic skills such as communicative skills, technical skills, presentation skills, on

the other hand, it also equips them with the ability to gain confidence, develop a positive attitude, develop

leadership skills and understand what healthy competition is.

Evidence of Success:

This practice has been in place since the last one year and has shown significant improvement in the

confidence levels of the students. the students hosted 2 events – “Brand India” and “Lead India”. The first

event was a creative event drawing the attention of the students towards the contributions of many

recognized and unrecognized citizens of the country who have contributed in making India what it is today.

The “Lead India” program focused on developing the oratory skills of the students. an event where the entire

college was the audience, students of the final year of all courses, participated in voicing their concerns

regarding the social issues yet unresolved in India and put forth their proposals and recommendations

towards the development of a better India. The event was a huge success and it was evidence of the fact that


a number of students who were otherwise shy and introvert in classrooms, came forward to speak in front of

a big gathering.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

It is an efficient practice and has shown significant improvement in the outward and overall development of

the students who have participated in this program. Problems encountered mainly pertain to the fact that

students usually have a short span of interest and expect all learning to happen in formats that are enjoyable.

Teachers involved in the training program are also sometimes committed to their classes and self-

development, which may come in the way of the delivery during the skill development program. As such,

there weren’t hurdles and the first deployment of the program was peaceful and uneventful.
