About IQAC

As per the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) guidelines every accredited institution should establish its own Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC). This is essential to maintain the post-accreditation quality of the university. Quality enhancement being a continuous process, the IQAC becomes a part of the institution’s system and works towards realization of the goals of quality enhancement and sustenance. The establishment of IQAC for smooth functioning of academic activities was in June 2011. One of the significant contributions of IQAC is to implement the student’s feedback on the curriculum. The feedback is collected online and is done at the end of each semester. The feedback collected on curriculum is compiled and are reported to the departments. The departments, in turn, take up necessary corrective measures. Loknete Gopinathji Munde Arts, Commerce and Science College was accredited by NAAC in 2004 for the first cycle, in 2011 for the second cycle, in 2017 for the Third cycle and preparation is going on for the fourth cycle of accreditation. The IQAC of College continued to strive for the betterment of processes and setup.
