Quality initiatives in an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) are essential for ensuring and enhancing the quality of education and services in an educational institution.

3.  Benchmarking:  Compare the institution's performance with other similar institutions or benchmarks in the field to identify areas of strength and weakness.

4.  Feedback Mechanisms:  Implement robust feedback mechanisms for students, faculty, and staff to provide input on their experiences. Use this feedback to make informed decisions about improvements.
