Future Plans & Healthy Practices:

Action Plan of Internal Quality Assurance Cell:

Every department will submit its progress report to the Coordinator of IQAC on biannual basis (15th June and 15th December) every year.

Every department will get feedback from students on set questionnaires and act accordingly on the basis of information received. IQAC will also analyze that information and convey the findings to the Principal of the college.

Every department will discuss at least twice in a year (August and February) with parents and alumni at departmental level and adopt the suggestions. The departments will convey the proceedings of such meetings in writing to IQAC so that quality related targets may be met.

Every department will fix its annual targets regarding teaching days, examination results, publication of research papers and books, participation in seminars, conferences and workshops, organization of various activities like debates, quiz competition, guest lectures, seminars, conferences, workshops, etc. The departments will provide information about targets and achievements to IQAC and college administration.
