According to the guidelines given by NAAC, our college established Internal Quality

Assurance Cell (IQAC) and Dr. Ulhas Patil is working as a coordinator of IQAC. Various

policies related to quality education and infrastructural development are created and executed

through IQAC. The IQAC Committee has been formed as per NAAC recommendations for

IQAC Constitution. Our IQAC is a full functioning body.

In pursuance Action Plan for performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation and

quality up-gradation of institutions of higher education, the meetings of IQAC has been

conducted periodically and Proceeding of meetings are well maintained. The Action Taken

Report (ATR) has been prepared at the end of every academic year. The Annual Quality

Assurance Report (AQAR) has been prepared and submitted to NAAC Office, Bangalore in

stipulated time period in every year.

Since quality enhancement is a continuous process, the IQAC will become a part of the

institution’s system and work towards realization 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 purpose, during the

post-accreditation period, it has channelized all efforts and measures of the institution

towards promoting its holistic academic excellence.

IQAC HAS A DEFINED QUALITY OBJECTIVES AS:

To aim for being a „College with Excellence‟

To achieve academic and administrative excellence

Creating a student-centric atmosphere for holistic learning

To develop stronger Industry-Academia relation for benefit of staff and students

To promote Interdisciplinary and collaborative research

To enhance the quality of staff by promoting and encouraging overall faculty

development

To aim for International collaborations and International programs

To enhance Infrastructure for Teaching-Learning and Administration

THE IQAC TEAM BELIEVES IN PLANNING BASED ON:

Analysis of current trends

Current needs of the education field

Continuous improvement in teaching-learning and evaluation

Use of latest technology for the betterment of students

Social affairs and their impact on education

Institutional Social responsibility

Appropriate decision-making

Effective implementation of the plans.

The guidelines 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.

designed to address the issues raised during the peer team visit. In the last five years,

the college has done a significant progress in the area of research and extension

activities. The faculty members of the college have been able to publish their research

work in the journals of high impact and international repute. A few select journal are

International journal of biological macromolecules (Impact factor: 3.4), Journal of

Surfactants and Detergents (Impact factor: 2.4), Phototherapy research (Impact factor:

3.2), Bioresource technology (Impact factor: 3.4) and Process biochemistry (Impact

factor: 4.4). A total of 294 research papers and the research review articles have been

published by the faculty. Several faculty members have authored the subject books, text

books and the reference books. Out of 34 regular faculty, 22 have completed their PhD

degree and ten teachers are recognized as research guides. Twenty two faculty members

IQAC introduced faculty academic diary and computerized module for

institutional API

The IQAC has introduced the practice of faculty academic diary. The college provides a

faculty diary to each teacher at the beginning of the academic year. Faculty members

update their academic diary and it is certified by principal at the end of week after

initial certification by HoD. The academic diary consist of information such as academic

calendar, details of course objectives and course outcome, lecture planning, student

attendance, weekly lecture details, practical plan, record of test, internal exams, mark

list of internal examinations, details of conferences and workshop attended, research

projects, co-curricular and extracurricular activities etc. After the semester

examinations, a thorough result analysis is done, result of every subject the faculty is

teaching is compared with the average result of university in a particular subject. The

faculty members are asked to undertake extra efforts for week students. The IQAC has

prepared the Microsoft Excel based institutional API proforma for the faculty of

teachers. Faculty members have to fill up and submit their API at the end of every

academic year along with the necessary proofs. Based on teaching learning, student

attendance, result analysis, contribution in co-curricular and extracurricular activities,

research contributions etc, The API score of the faculty is automatically computed in a

Excel programme. Teachers are given grades like O, A+, A, B+, B, C+, C and D. The

teachers graded with ‘O’ grade are appreciated on the occasion of teachers day.

Other practices of IQAC:

IQAC encourages and motivates Teachers and Students to actively participate in

research activities. The practices are:

UGC and University Circulars pertaining to research are displayed on the Notice

Board for students and staff notice file.

With the help of the UGC grant, efforts have been made to develop research

infrastructure like laboratories, advanced equipment, modern ICT gadgets,

access to electronic learning materials etc.

IQAC and the library committee has provided unique user ID and password for

accessing NLIST site that offers e-Books and e- Journals in full text form.

Teachers are encouraged to pursue their PhD work.

Teachers who have completed their Ph.D., are facilitated by the Teachers’
