Ensuring quality and continuous improvement in higher education

Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) & Activities

(Reference: NAAC website)

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. The work of the IQAC is the first step towards internalization and institutionalization of quality enhancement initiatives. 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.

Best Practices

Best Practice I: Providing Free Scholarships to Meritorious and Economically Weaker Students ▼

Objective of the Practice:

To support academically deserving and financially disadvantaged students by removing economic barriers to higher education.

The Context:

Many talented students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds struggle to finance their higher education, often facing the difficult choice between continuing their studies and entering the workforce prematurely. Existing financial support mechanisms do not always reach all deserving students due to limitations in access and eligibility. Recognizing this ongoing challenge within its community, J.N. Aier College established a dedicated, college-funded scholarship program to ensure that financial constraints do not hinder academic potential.

The Practice:

  1. The College provides a scholarship program providing financial aid to academically deserving students from economically weaker sections.
  2. Eligible students are identified and assessed holistically by faculty and administration based on merit and financial need.
  3. Selected students receive tuition fee waivers and essential academic support, promoting an inclusive and supportive learning environment.

Evidence of Success:
