The format is prepared in accordance with the self study report of NAAC and the filled in data are reviewed and compiled by the team.
IQAC draws up the SWOT analysis of the departments and gives its remarks and suggestions to the departments to be aware of the areas to be improved such as Research Promotion, Collaborations with Industries, Consultancy, E-Content development, Improving and Strengthening the Students support progress and Activities like instituting more Scholarships to students, effective coaching & training through the Placement Cell, Quiz Club, Journal Club, Speakers’ Forum, motivating students to participate in National level and Internal level competitions, identifying the prominent and reputed alumni and providing more number of Value Added, Skill Initiative Certificate Courses and Vocational Programmes to enhance the employable skills among the students.
