IQAC is responsible for the development and implementation of quality policies, evaluation of academic and administrative activities, and the promotion of research and innovation in campus. In pursuance of its Action Plan for performance evaluation, assessment & accreditation & quality up-gradation of institutions of higher education, NAAC proposes that every accredited institution should establish an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) as a post-accreditation quality sustenance measure. Since quality enhancement is a continuous process, the IQAC will become a part of the institution’s system & work towards realisation of the goals of quality enhancement & sustenance. The prime task of the IQAC is to develop a system for conscious, consistent & catalytic improvement in the overall performance of institutions. For this, during the post-accreditation period, it will channelize all efforts & measures of the institution towards promoting its holistic academic excellence.
The primary objectives of the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) at Duxford College for Advanced Studies are to promote a culture of quality consciousness and excellence in all institutional activities. The IQAC aims to facilitate the development and implementation of quality enhancement measures across various departments, ensuring that each area of the institution continuously strives for improvement. Additionally, the IQAC is committed to ensuring compliance with accreditation standards and regulatory requirements, which is vital for maintaining the college's reputation and credibility. Furthermore, fostering stakeholder engagement and participation in quality assurance initiatives is a key focus, as it encourages collaboration and input from faculty, staff, students, and external partners in the pursuit of academic excellence.
The Internal Quality Assurance Cell of the college has been established in accordance with the latest guidelines provided by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).
Regular assessments of academic and administrative processes to identify strengths and areas for improvement.
Organizing training sessions, workshops, and seminars to enhance faculty skills and student engagement.
Establishing feedback mechanisms to gather input from students, faculty, and industry partners to inform quality enhancement efforts.
Ensuring that all processes and practices align with national and international accreditation standards.

One key initiative is the organization of regular quality workshops, which provide faculty with opportunities to share innovative teaching strategies and assessment methods. Additionally, the IQAC focuses on student-centric initiatives, developing programs that actively involve students in quality assurance processes and encourage their input and feedback. The cell also emphasizes data-driven decision-making by utilizing data analytics to inform policies and strategies for continuous improvement.
