Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)
The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) at MIT World Peace University (MIT-WPU) has been established in alignment with the directives of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore. As a vital component of our university, IQAC serves as a dedicated body committed to the continuous enhancement and sustenance of academic quality. Having evolved from its proposal stage, IQAC has become an integral part of our institution's fabric, working diligently to realize our goals of academic excellence and improvement. Its primary role is to develop a comprehensive framework for deliberate and consistent enhancements across all university aspects, drawing inspiration from peer committee recommendations. IQAC operates as a dynamic, participative system, striving to internalize and institutionalize quality enhancement initiatives, much like the "Quality Circles" in industries.
