Internal Quality Assurance Cell
IQAC is a post-accreditation quality enhancement and sustenance measure that aims to develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic improvement in the academic, administrative and financial performance of the institution. With the assistance of Dr. S. M. Yahiya Ibrahim as Coordinator and Dr. Mohd. Moiz Ashraf as Assistant Coordinator, a team has been constituted to plan, coordinate, and monitor the functioning of the college in an effort to give the stakeholders an opportunity to participate in the cross-sectional and multi-dimensional performance of the institution. The IQAC is a great changing force and a tool for sustenance and up-gradation. It does act as suggestive body for the sustenance and assurance of quality with reference to academic, administrative, financial, infrastructural and student support areas but more than this it is a major role player in planning, implementation and execution of multifarious developmental activities. MIS, multipurpose digital ID Cards, Digitisation, Help Desk, CCTV, Digital Notice Boards, Free Wi-Fi for students, LCD TVs for Student Common Rooms are a few among many projects that are undertaken by the IQAC. It has been continuously organising workshops for teaching and non-teaching staff and motivational programmes for students. The Feed Back Analysis mechanism, SWOC Analysis mechanism, publication of Academic and Activity Calendar, Curriculum Distribution, Student Seminars, Parent-Teacher meetings, Student mentoring, Academic and Administrative Audit, Green & Engergy Audit, Gender Audit, Student Satisfaction Survey are a few concepts that were introduced and undertaken by the IQAC. The College website has also been managed and updated under the guidance of IQAC and the practice of uploading Class Routines, gist of lectures and programme & course outcomes on the College website has also been introduced by the IQAC. From the last few years the College is publishing its Academic and Activity Calendar and efforts have been made to ensure its implementation under the aegis of the IQAC. The IQAC monitors the effectiveness of all teaching learning activities, co-curricular, extracurricular and extension activities and corrective measures are suggested to the College Management for redressing the lacuna. A look on the Action Taken Report (ATR) uploaded on the IQAC section of the website may also prove helpful to gauge the role and involvement of IQAC in the developmental activities of the College.

Best Practices in Teaching and Learning
- Title: Daily Teaching Report for Faculty Members
Goal: To maintain a daily record of classes taken, portion taught, and student attendance in each class for purposes of academic monitoring and audit.
The Context : The mechanism of daily teaching reports for faculty members was decided to be implemented in order to install a structure of record and feedback on classes taken, portion taught and student attendance, both for individual faculty members and for departments as a whole. The greatest challenge faced in the implementation of this practice was to urge the maintenance of daily records for regular weekly submission and to process the data department-wise for comparative assessment of the progress of teachers and departments.
The Practice: The institution has developed a pro-forma for the daily report with columns for date, classes engaged, classroom number, portion taught, and number of students attended. This report is meant to be filled in by the teacher every day and submitted at the end of the week, i.e. Saturday to the respective Faculty In-charge. On the basis of these weekly reports received, the Faculty In-charge compiles the information at the end of each month to tabulate the number of classes engaged by each faculty member, a copy of which duly signed by each teacher is maintained for records.
The Daily Report also serves as a mechanism for departmental academic audit as the Heads of departments use it to ensure the following:
- Classes are being engaged in accordance with the assigned departmental routine.
- The syllabus allotted to each teacher is duly covered.
- Teachers adhere to their submitted lesson plan in classroom teaching.
- The record of attendance of students is duly maintained.
- Student attendance figures, if low, reflects a need for departmental attention.
Evidence of Success :
The practice has recorded appreciable success and has greatly facilitated the institutional attempt towards quality assurance in teaching and learning. The data made available by this practice in any particular session becomes instrumental in making departmental decisions with regards to syllabus distribution, re-constitution of the lesson plan and other academic activities in the next session.
Problems Encountered and Resources Required:
The adoption of this practice does not call for any additional resource. The pro-forma can be easily designed and distributed among teachers at a nominal cost. The daily data-keeping is done by the teachers themselves while the compilation at the end of the month is carried out by the respective Faculty In-charges. The records, department-wise, are made accessible to the Heads of departments for purposes of analysis, feedback, and decision-making. A couple of lacunae in this method have, however, been experienced. The first one pertains to the obvious consumption of paper and the encumbering process of maintaining physical records. The second pertains to the frequent possibility of teachers being on leave at the week’s end in which case the process of processing records gets delayed. Both these problems can be effectively addressed through a process of e-reports which while reducing paper consumption, can also be submitted from anywhere.
The institution is working towards implementing the format of e-reports in the forthcoming academic sessions.
- Title: Theory at Work: Promoting Curriculum-based Academic Activities
Goal: In order to overcome the limitations and diversify the base of theoretical learning imparted and received in the classroom, the institution encourages its various departments to propose, devise and engage in both traditional and innovative curriculum-based academic activities for students. The intention is to enable students to master the following skills:
- To test the learning acquired from books in different ideological contexts.
- To make connections between theory and practice in the everyday world.
- To realize the limitations of theory and the creativity involved in practice.
- To make the process of teaching and learning stimulating.
- To encourage exchange of ideas and knowledge sharing with others.
The Context: The institution has, over the years, encouraged and prioritized curriculum-based academic activities in all its departments with the idea of making teaching and learning more interactive and socially-engaged. In an age ruled increasingly by ICT, it accords special value to practical learning acquired through social interaction. While the majority of classes remain assigned to curricular teaching and evaluation, each department is expected to plan a minimum of two academic activities for each batch in each semester.
The Practice:
Each department of the college is expected to organize a minimum of two curricular-based academic activities for each batch in each semester in keeping with the nature, needs, and demands of their syllabus. The activities vary considerably and range from practical data collection and field work to writing film and book reviews and enacting plays.
The following activities have been carried out by the various departments so far:
- Excursions to industries and to places of historical, geographical, and cultural interest.
- Collection of samples and data from local areas for purposes of assignments and projects.
- Preparation of syllabus-related models in groups and exhibitions of the same.
- Workshops on academic areas like research methodology, data handling, and writing skills.
- Representation of theoretical content graphically through posters.
- Screening of films which are cinematic adaptations of literary works that feature in the syllabus.
- Screening of documentaries to deepen the perception and understanding of a particular age, issue, person, or subject.
- Organization of prose and poetry reading sessions and also, occasionally, sessions of dramatic performance in literature departments.
- Discussion sessions on higher education and career prospects in a particular discipline.
- Mock writing exercises that include writing of reports, reviews, interviews, and academic articles.
Evidence of Success : The practice of organizing curricular-based academic activities has been immensely successful with students who enthusiastically participate in large number in these activities and following their participation, emerge with new ideas pertaining to their learning. The introduction of such activities has not only helped increase student attendance and participation in class but has also encouraged them to relate to their course material in dynamic and socially fruitful ways.
Problems Encountered and Resources Required: It must be acknowledged that in organizing such activities, funds are an important consideration. Many of these ventures require extra expenditure which must be borne by the institution. At the same time, teachers must be creative and innovative to come up with new ideas in each semester. Repetition of similar activities with the same batch of students in different semesters is bound to affect their zeal, interest, and participation in them. It must also be ensured that the benefits from such sessions are common and accrue to all learners. Activities targeted at a particular group of learners may damage the spirit with which such plans are conceived. It is also important to acquire independent feedback from students on such activities and to ensure that their organization continues to be worthy and fruitful.
