INTERNAL QUALITY ASSURANCE CELL

IQAC Meeting Minutes & Best Practices

The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of Mahishadal Girls' College functions as the nodal agency for planning, executing and evaluating quality enhancement activities, and ensures their institutionalisation and sustenance. It coordinates all quality‑related activities of the college and prepares the Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) submitted to NAAC every year.

The IQAC is mandated to meet at least twice a year. All proceedings are documented, the minutes are circulated to members, and the action taken on resolutions is recorded and reviewed at the subsequent meeting. Minutes, Action Taken Reports (ATR) and institutional Best Practices are published below for transparency and are available to all stakeholders, including students, faculty and the public.

Institutional Best Practices

Best practices are innovative processes, programmes or activities implemented by the institution with significant positive impact on the quality of education, student development or institutional performance. As per NAAC Criterion VII, the institution documents and shares at least two best practices.

Best Practice — 01

Holistic Student Welfare through Convergence of Support Cells

Objective: To create a unified, student‑centred welfare ecosystem by integrating the Anti‑Ragging Cell, SC/ST & Minority Cell, Gender Sensitisation Cell, Scholarship Facilitation Cell and Career Guidance services into a single, accessible student support framework.

Practice: The college constituted a Composite Student Welfare Council that coordinates all welfare cells under a single convener from the teaching faculty, with a weekly “Welfare Hour” where students can walk in without an appointment. Awareness sessions are conducted at the start of each semester covering scholarships, anti‑ragging, legal rights and available welfare funds.

Evidence of Success: Scholarship application rates increased significantly, no ragging incidents have been reported, and students report greater awareness of their rights and entitlements.

Best Practice — 02

Continuous Feedback‑Driven Quality Enhancement in Teaching‑Learning

Objective: To build a transparent, responsive teaching‑learning quality cycle by collecting structured feedback from students, alumni and employers, analysing it systematically and acting on the findings within each academic cycle.

Practice: The college introduced an end‑of‑semester feedback process covering Student Feedback on Teachers, Alumni Feedback on Curriculum, and Teacher Self‑Appraisal. IQAC analyses the aggregated results and prepares an anonymised summary for faculty development planning.

Evidence of Success: Faculty adoption of ICT‑assisted teaching methods rose substantially, and exit‑survey scores for student satisfaction improved year on year.
