Quality Policy
The Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan University Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) is mainly concerned with internal quality. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) and the University Grants Commission (UGC) have placed the responsibility for improving
University quality on the IQAC. The IQAC's main goal is to investigate University procedures rather than simply examine them from the standpoint of providing quality to all stakeholders.
Recognizing the importance of Internal Quality Assurance Systems (IQAS), the IQAC has worked to systematize processes that lead to quality improvement over the years. Additionally, the IQAC believes that quality improvement projects should be decentralized rather than nodal,
with multiple activity heads selected and each implementing their actions as a separate team.
Inclusion through involvement is the IQAC quality policy for the Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan University and for all stakeholders. This policy makes sure that all parties involved, particularly the staff and students, participate in all University events while they are enrolled.
