Internal Quality Assurance Cell(IQAC)
The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), located in Bangalore, proposes that every recognized academic institution should establish an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) to assess and advise strategies to improve the quality of an academic institution's overall performance on a regular basis. In order to achieve this purpose, Science College, Konkorada has established an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) to facilitate the ongoing improvement and maintenance of quality in both its academic and administrative endeavors. Since quality enhancement is an ongoing endeavor, the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) will integrate into the institution's framework and strive to achieve the objectives of enhancing and sustaining quality.
College’s Internal Quality Assurance Cell opened on 30.12.2017. It has a committee of staff, industrialist, stakeholders, alumni, a coordinator, and the college principal as its chairman.
