In pursuance of the National Action Plan of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) for performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation and quality up gradation 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 realizing the goals of quality enhancement and sustenance.
IQAC of the Sree Sankaracharya University of Kalady aims to continuously monitor quality and create quality alerts and propose ways and means of enhancing quality. The motto of the IQAC is to achieve quality through continuous improvement with cooperation of all stake holders. It will channelize and systematize the efforts of the University towards academic excellence. In 2015, the IQAC has drafted a master plan of action covering every sphere of activity of the University. This is to be continuously evolved and acted upon. Using this as the major canvas, the IQAC aims to produce number of quality reports on important parameters of University’s activities to enable rational decisions for improvement.
The IQAC welcomes critical remarks and suggestions from both members of the University system and also general public.
