IQAC – SHASUN JAIN COLLEGE FOR WOMEN

Overview

Internal Quality Assurance Cell

As per National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) guidelines,every accredited institution should establish an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) as a post-accreditation quality sustenance measure.

IQAC in any institution is a significant administrative body that is responsible for all quality matters. It is the prime responsibility of IQAC to initiate, plan and supervise various activities that are necessary to increase the quality of the education imparted in an institution or college.
