About › IQAC
Internal Quality Assurance Cell.
The IQAC is the engine room for academic quality at VCOP. It assesses, documents and improves teaching, research and extension activities — and produces the AQAR every year.
About IQAC
NAAC-mandated quality oversight.
Under the National Assessment and Accreditation Council framework, every accredited institution operates an Internal Quality Assurance Cell. The IQAC works year-round — collecting data, running stakeholder surveys, conducting curriculum reviews and producing the Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR).
At VCOP, the cell is chaired by the Principal and coordinated by a senior faculty member, with HODs, external academic and industry representatives, and a senior student on the board. Meetings are held quarterly; findings are circulated to all departments.
Who's on the cell.
