INTRODUCTION
“Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.” – Henry Ford
Quality Sustenance and Quality Enhancement are the two key words reverberating in most institutions of higher learning today. NAAC and NBA are the organization that assesses and accredit institutions for quality in education. These bodies advocate establishing Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC).
Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Management Studies (MAIMS) conforms to the requirements of students, and society at large by focusing efforts in quality education. MAIMS is committed to continual improvement of services, processes and resources for effective conformance to the requirements of all the stakeholders. To achieve such commitment, Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) was formulated in 2020 to design, monitor and assess the quality parameters in academic functions of Institute.
IQAC is established to review and develop a system of conscious, regular and catalytic actions to improve the teaching learning process, the evaluation procedure and the quality improvement of students and faculty. Internal auditing of the Institute, faculty and staff members is regularly done by the IQAC for continuous improvement.
The IQAC of the Institute coordinates all quality-related activities by developing an organized methodology of documentation and internal communication. It works to enhance and integrate the various activities of the Institute and to ensure the adoption and dissemination of good practices.
The IQAC coordinates the process of enriching the syllabus to create an effective curriculum that is in tune with the demands of the time. An effective feedback system has been developed to facilitate the feedback process to monitor the quality and efficacy of the policies and processes of the institution.
