IAQC

INTRODUCTION
DPSRU has developed a strong Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) mechanism over the years, in accordance with the National Assessment and Accreditation Council’s (an autonomous institution of the University Grants Commission) standards, to implement quality improvement strategies, include self and external evaluation, and promote, sustain, and raise awareness about quality. The IQAC has taken a number of actions to assess and improve the University’s teaching, learning, research, and governance. Academic monitoring (AM) is the first step in achieving quality, and it entails paying a surprise visit to ongoing theory and practical classes and evaluating the results.The IQAC was crucial in the reform of the component colleges’ and university departments’ Vision, Mission, Goals, and strategic plans. Academic monitoring meetings are held on a regular basis to discuss difficulties and necessary changes for improvement. Through orientation and training programs, all members are encouraged to participate in advanced training for professional development. Various processes such as curriculum design and development, receiving feedback from various stakeholders such as students, parents, instructors, industry experts, recruiters, and other peer groups were designed, refined, and optimized under the aegis of the Quality Cell. For the continual quality improvement, DPSRU uses the IQAC vehicle.
