Academic Audit
The continuous progress of the College is monitored through an annual external academic audit conducted by the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC).
Annual Academic Audit is introduced by the college to reinforce the healthy practices of the college with suitable mechanisms to identify and reform whether the goals and objectives of the college are being implemented successfully. The notion of conducting academic audit is to assess the academic performance of staff in particular and departments as whole. Specifically, the audit is conducted on the basis of criterion wise as suggested by the NAAC. Issues identified were curricular designing and development, teacher quality and profile, performances of students, innovative methods in teaching and learning process, academic progress of the department, professional development of staff, research and extension activities conducted by the department, students support activities, best practice of the department and so on. In view of this exercise, the strength and limitations of the department can be identified and suitable measures are suggested. This practice develops a healthy competition among the members of faculty of each department and also among the departments. It is to be ensured that students graduating from the college are groomed to master any set of skills or knowledge. They are trained to maintain a high standard with their counterparts in urban areas.
After conducting the academic audit regularly, it has been found that a significant improvement of the individual faculty with regard to attending seminars, publishing papers, undertaking consultancy, organizing seminars / workshops, maintaining records etc. Further the performance of departments is remarkably accomplished. Student support activities, student progressions and placement activities are considerably increased.
In view of continuous internal assessment of students, teaching schedule, research and extension activities and examinations related duties make the teacher unable to collate the data and write the self-study report. Clerical assistance was not available. The teachers have to adopt/familiarize new technology/gadgets to get their work done easily.
The IQAC develops standards for the various administrative and academic functions of the college. It also orients and trains staff members existing and new entrants on various issues and changes in higher education. The IQAC sheds responsibilities and works in a team at all levels of the hierarchical structure. In particular IQAC has introduced quality circles in department level by forming Micro quality assurance cell (MQAC).
