______Document revised by: Dr. Ganesh Hegde, Assistant Adviser and B. S. Ponmudiraj, Assistant Adviser, NAAC Guidelines for the Creation of the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) and Submission of Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) in Accredited Institutions

Introduction In pursuance of its Action Plan for performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation and quality up-gradation of institutions of higher education, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore proposes that 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. For this, during the post-accreditation period, it will channelize all efforts and measures of the institution towards promoting its holistic academic excellence.

The guidelines provided in the following pages will guide and facilitate the institution in the creation and operation of the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC). The work of the IQAC is the first step towards internalization and institutionalization of quality enhancement initiatives. Its success depends upon the sense of belongingness and participation it can inculcate in all the constituents of the institution. It will not be yet another hierarchical structure or a record-keeping exercise in the institution. 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 like the “Quality Circles” in industries.

Objective The primary aim of IQAC is

 To develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic action to improve the academic and administrative performance of the institution.  To promote measures for institutional functioning towards quality enhancement through internalization of quality culture and institutionalization of best practices.

Strategies IQAC shall evolve mechanisms and procedures for a) Ensuring timely, efficient and progressive performance of academic, administrative and financial tasks; b) The relevance and quality of academic and research programmes; c) Equitable access to and affordability of academic programmes for various sections of society; d) Optimization and integration of modern methods of teaching and learning; e) The credibility of evaluation procedures; f) Ensuring the adequacy, maintenance and proper allocation of support structure and services; g) Sharing of research findings and networking with other institutions in India and abroad. Functions Some of the functions expected of the IQAC are:

a) Development and application of quality benchmarks/parameters for various academic and administrative activities of the institution; b) Facilitating the creation of a learner-centric environment conducive to quality education and faculty maturation to adopt the required knowledge and technology for participatory teaching and learning process; c) Arrangement for feedback response from students, parents and other stakeholders on quality-related institutional processes; d) Dissemination of information on various quality parameters of higher education; e) Organization of inter and intra institutional workshops, seminars on quality related themes and promotion of quality circles; f) Documentation of the various programmes/activities leading to quality improvement; g) Acting as a nodal agency of the Institution for coordinating quality-related activities, including adoption and dissemination of best practices; h) Development and maintenance of institutional database through MIS for the purpose of maintaining /enhancing the institutional quality; i) Development of Quality Culture in the institution; j) Preparation of the Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) as per guidelines and parameters of NAAC, to be submitted to NAAC.

Benefits IQAC will facilitate / contribute a) Ensure heightened level of clarity and focus in institutional functioning towards quality enhancement; b) Ensure internalization of the quality culture; b) Ensure enhancement and coordination among various activities of the institution and institutionalize all good practices; c) Provide a sound basis for decision-making to improve institutional functioning; d) Act as a dynamic system for quality changes in HEIs; e) Build an organised methodology of documentation and internal communication. Composition of the IQAC IQAC may be constituted in every institution under the Chairmanship of the Head of the institution with heads of important academic and administrative units and a few teachers and a few distinguished educationists and representatives of local management and stakeholders.

The composition of the IQAC may be as follows: 1. Chairperson: Head of the Institution 2. A few senior administrative officers 3. Three to eight teachers 4. One member from the Management 5. One/two nominees from local society, Students and Alumni 6. One/two nominees from Employers /Industrialists/stakeholders 7. One of the senior teachers as the coordinator/Director of the IQAC

The composition of the IQAC will depend on the size and complexity of the institution. It helps the institutions in planning and monitoring. IQAC also gives stakeholders or beneficiaries a cross-sectional participation in the institution’s quality enhancement activities. The guidelines given here are only indicative and will help the institutions for quality sustenance activities.

The membership of such nominated members shall be for a period of two years. The IQAC should meet at least once in every quarter. The quorum for the meeting shall be two-third of the total number of members. The agenda, minutes and Action Taken Reports are to be documented with official signatures and maintained electronically in a retrievable format.

It is necessary for the members of the IQAC to shoulder the responsibilities of generating and promoting awareness in the institution and to devote time for working out the procedural details. While selecting these members several precautions need to be taken. A few of them are listed below:

 It is advisable to choose persons from various backgrounds who have earned respect for integrity and excellence in their teaching and research. Moreover, they should be aware of the ground realities of the institutional environment. They should be known for their commitment to improving the quality of teaching and learning.

 It would be appropriate to choose as senior administrators, persons in charge of institutional services such as library, computer center, estate, student welfare, administration, academic tasks, examination and planning and development.

 The management representative should be a person who is aware of the institution’s objectives, limitations and strengths and is committed to its improvement. The local society representatives should be of high social standing and should have made significant contributions to society and in particular to education.

The role of coordinator The role of the coordinator of the IQAC is crucial in ensuring the effective functioning of all the members. The coordinator of the IQAC may be a senior person with expertise in quality aspects. She/he may be a full-time functionary or, to start with, she/he may be a senior academic /administrator entrusted with the IQAC as an additional responsibility. Secretarial assistance may be facilitated by the administration. It is preferable that the coordinator may have sound knowledge about the computer, its various functions and usage for effective communication.

Operational Features of the IQAC Quality assurance is a by-product of ongoing efforts to define the objectives of an institution, to have a work plan to achieve them and to specify the checks and balances to evaluate the degree to which each of the tasks is fulfilled. Hence devotion and commitment to improvement rather than mere institutional control is the basis for devising procedures and instruments for assuring quality. The right balance between the health and growth of an institution needs to be struck. The IQAC has to ensure that whatever is done in the institution for “education” is done efficiently and effectively with high standards. In order to do this, the IQAC will have to first establish procedures and modalities to collect data and information on various aspects of institutional functioning.

The coordinator of the IQAC and the secretary will have a major role in implementing these functions. The IQAC may derive major support from the already existing units and mechanisms that contribute to the functions listed above. The operational features and functions discussed so far are broad-based to facilitate institutions towards academic excellence and institutions may adapt them to their specific needs.

Monitoring Mechanism The institutions need to submit yearly the Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) to NAAC. A functional Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) and timely submission of Annual Quality Assurance Reports (AQARs) are the Minimum Institutional Requirements (MIR) to volunteer for second, third or subsequent cycle’s accreditation. During the institutional visit the NAAC peer teams will interact with the IQACs to know the progress, functioning as well quality sustenance initiatives undertaken by them.

The Annual Quality Assurance Reports (AQAR) may be the part of the Annual Report. The AQAR shall be approved by the statutory bodies of the HEIs (such as Syndicate, Governing Council/Board) for the follow up action for necessary quality enhancement measures.

The Higher Education Institutions (HEI) shall submit the AQAR regularly to NAAC. The IQACs may create its exclusive window on its institutional website and regularly upload/ report on its activities, as well as for hosting the AQAR.

The NAAC Accredited institutions need to submit only the soft copy as word file (.doc/.docx) through e-mail ([email protected]). The file name needs to be submitted with Track ID of the institution and College Name. For example MHCOGN16601-Samudra Arts and Science College, Taliamegu-Maharashtra.doc. The Higher Education Institutions need not submit the printed/hard copy to NAAC. The acknowledgements would be sent to the institutions through e-mail.

The Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) of the IQAC

All NAAC accredited institutions will submit an annual self-reviewed progress report to NAAC, through its IQAC. The report is to detail the tangible results achieved in key areas, specifically identified by the institutional IQAC at the beginning of the academic year. The AQAR will detail the results of the perspective plan worked out by the IQAC. (Note: The AQAR period would be the Academic Year. For example, July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013)

2.6 Innovative processes adopted by the institution in Teaching and Learning: (a) DCSMAT – An Unique 24 x 7 Campus. (i) Our foremost strength lies in the uniqueness of its campus – its idealistic location away from all distractions, fully residential for students as well as faculty and staff, and its 24 x 7 study culture. (ii) We have taken advantage of this uniqueness in the following ways:-  Frequent weekend programmes.  Extended library hours.  Class hours are diversified and they range from 8.00 AM till 8 PM.  Gives ample opportunities for extra classes and personality development programmes.  Strike-Free campus.  Student interaction with faculty beyond the class hours  Executive interaction with Industry Experts  Student Ownership Programs  Student Clusters, Intra-cluster and Inter-Cluster competitions  Breakfast session with CEOs and Top Level Executives  Participation in Management Fests, winning prizes and developing inter-personnel skills  Nurturing group dynamics through group assignments and other group activities  DC Club activities to encourage practicing management lessons through event management and cultural programs  Opportunities to perform on the stage, providing scope for stage fright.  Industry Analysis of various industrial sectors by Student Groups  Opportunity to gain by add on courses.  Co-curricular activities.  Recreation and physical fitness through sports and gym. (b) We are proud to have initiated a number of best practices in the teaching-learning processes. These are enumerated below:- (i) Induction Programme. At the beginning of a course, the students are given an induction of a minimum of five days. In some cases, this may be extended. (ii) Course Plan for All Subjects. A detailed course plan for every paper is prepared and available to the students in the ‘Moodle’. The course plan contains course objectives in behavioural terms, the themes/topics to be learned, the method of learning/ teaching-learning delivery, books and journals to be referred before coming to the class and recommended reading for learning the topic in detail. The course plan also contains the method of internal evaluation of the courses taught. (iii) Case Method of Learning. The institute focuses on case method of learning which is a proven method for management education. The case studies are live examples of the situations that mangers face in their actual work setup and therefore arouse student’s interest in the course. However, necessary efforts are always made to link the findings of the case with the concepts in the text. (iv) LMCW. (Learning Management through Case Writing). We have already taken it a step ahead by making the students write cases on the small and tiny enterprises in and around Vagamon and also on the Akshaya entrepreneurs from different parts of the state. The students also wrote cases on the small and unique tourism enterprises in Kerala and conducted a conference on the above theme. We call this LMCW ( Learning Management through Case Writing). (v) SOP. Student Ownership Programme (SOP) of DCSMAT is yet another innovative and successful programme which has enabled the faculty and the students to interact more closely and get the mutual benefits. All the tasks given are group tasks and this helps in building teamwork and cohesiveness. (vi) Evening Presentations. The daily presentations by the students and the weekly presentations by the faculty on various economic, non-economic and other issues is yet another successful innovation by DCSMAT. This has drastically improved the presentation skills and analytical skills of the Dcians. (vii) Extensive Use of Technology. Teaching using videos and other audio visual aids has been found very effective by the faculty in imparting knowledge to the students. (viii) Evaluation of the Faculty by the Students. A feedback system is in place for evaluating the curriculum transactions. For keeping the objectivity and confidentiality of the students’ feedback system a separate cell under the direct supervision of the Principal is functioning. (ix) Library timings. College library is open to students from 9 am to 11.pm. Students are given maximum opportunities to make use of the facilities in the campus. (x) Industrial Visits. For supplementing theoretical knowledge, the students are taken to the industries and organizations for direct exposure, observation and learning. They will also have an exposure to corporate culture and working conditions. (xi) Frequent Faculty Meetings. Weekly faculty meetings and the bi-weekly meeting of the non- teaching staff at the DCSMAT are held for transacting the academic and administrative businesses and also to bring in a sense of participation and coherence. (xii) Mentoring. The college has instituted mentoring system and it is a part of regular activity of the teaching-learning process. One teacher is in charge of 10 to 15 students called the SOP group. Students are encouraged to meet their mentors at least once in a week. Group mentoring is also arranged through the Creative Leadership Programme being conducted from this year. A mentoring manual is being prepared for helping all the teachers to orient them in mentoring process. (xiii) Subscription to Newspapers by Each Student. All the students are encouraged to individually subscribe to newspapers like Business Line, Economic Times etc. Under student’s subscription scheme. (xiv) News Reading and Analysis : Regular news reading and analysis is implemented as part of the daily schedule where each morning 15 minutes of the first session is allocated for this purpose.

2.12 How does IQAC Contribute/Monitor/Evaluate the Teaching & Learning processes :

 IQAC Monitor and Evaluate the Teaching & Learning mechanism as follows:-

 Assessment of students for each course / subject are done by internal continuous assessments and end semester examinations. Internal assessment is conducted throughout the semester. It is based on internal examinations and assignments as decided by the faculty handling the course. Assignments includes homework, problem solving, group discussions, quiz, term project, spot test, software exercises etc

 End semester examinations of all subjects are conducted by the University.  The marks required for a pass is 50%. There is separate minimum for all courses and for internal and external (University) examinations.  No student is permitted to appear for the university (external) examinations unless he/she secures at least 50% marks in the internal evaluation in each course. The internal assessment marks is awarded by the concerned faculty member in charge of the course based on the guidelines of the University.  In case a candidate fails to secure the required minimum of 50% marks in internal assessment, he may secure it by repeating the course altogether in a regular class or by taking the course with a faculty member assigned by the Head of the Department in subsequent semester provided that the candidate has failed to obtain the 50% marks in the first instance, but such improvement in sessions in the same paper cannot be attended more than once.  Systematic record for the award of internal assessment marks (in the computerized form) will be maintained in the department duly signed by the concerned faculty members and counter signed by the Head of the Department.  The marks secured by the students in each semester will be recorded and kept in the office in the digital form, for further reference.  IQAC contributes by adding innovative mechanism for quality improvement focusing on the outcome and also ensuring that the mechanism is in place through periodic review. Best practices from other institutions are studied and implemented by fine tuning to the residential environment of the campus.
