In pursuance of its action plan for performance evaluation, assessment & accreditation and quality upgradation of institutions of higher education, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bengaluru, 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 the 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 channel all efforts and measures of the institution towards promoting its holistic academic excellence.

The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) at SSMRV College plays a crucial role in ensuring quality in both the administrative and academic units of the institution. The IQAC continuously reviews the functioning of various departments, facilitates necessary changes to maintain high academic standards and provides a learner-centric environment for the students. The IQAC’s efforts have been instrumental in enhancing the overall development of the students, focusing not just on academics but also on soft skills and extracurricular activities. Through its various initiatives and continuous monitoring, the IQAC at SSMRV College plays a key role in the institution’s journey towards excellence. Its dedication to quality assurance has been a driving force behind the college’s success in providing a holistic educational experience to its students.
