The institution has transgressed several milestones. It is accredited with ‘C’ grade by NAAC in 2004 (Ist Cycle), reaccredited with ‘B’ grade in 2015      (In Second Cycle). The IQAC was established after the first accreditation by NAAC in 2005, as a post-accreditation quality sustenance measure. Since its establishment the IQAC has been involved in the improvement of the quality sustenance of the institution. The prime task of the IQAC is to develop a system for unswerving and catalytic improvement in the performance of the college.

The IQAC makes a significant and meaningful contribution in the post-accreditation phase of institutions.

IQAC has been a suggestive body to the management on the provision of staff and student support services. IQAC also organizes Faculty Development Program in campus and also motivates staff to attend such program organized by reputed institutions. The management is receptive to the suggestions (benchmarks) of IQAC and implemented them – like establishment of research center, installation of smart projectors, creation of official email id etc. The IQAC, functions with great zeal to enhance the quality of the institution in all spheres. It is sure that in the forth coming years we will try to attain the pinnacle of excellence in the field of Higher Education of the State of Uttrakhand.
