About IQAC
As per the guidelines of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), every accredited institution is required to establish an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) to ensure continuous quality enhancement and sustenance. The IQAC functions as an integral part of the institutional system and works towards strengthening academic and administrative processes, promoting a culture of quality, and achieving the broader goals of institutional development.
The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of Mangaldai Commerce College was established on 31st December 2021 as an important step towards strengthening the quality assurance mechanism of the College. The establishment of IQAC marked a significant milestone in developing a systematic understanding and implementation of quality assurance practices within the institution.
Since its inception, the IQAC has been actively involved in various quality enhancement initiatives, documentation, data management, academic monitoring, feedback mechanisms, and institutional development activities. It has also contributed significantly towards the creation and maintenance of an institutional database for effective planning, monitoring, and decision-making.
Mangaldai Commerce College was accredited by NAAC in 2023 in its First Cycle of Accreditation. Since then, the IQAC has continued to work towards the continuous improvement of academic, administrative, infrastructural, and student-support systems of the College.
