IQAC

To ensure quality culture as the prime concern for the Higher Education Institutions through institutionalizing and internalizing all the initiatives taken with internal and external support an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) was established at Government College of Engineering and Ceramic Technlogy for performance evaluation and quality up-gradation, as a post-accreditation quality sustenance measure. Keeping in mind that quality enhancement is a continuous process, the IQAC became an integral part of the Institution’s system striving towards realisation of the goals of quality enhancement and sustenance.
