Introduction

To fulfill the academic Excellence as one of the four pillars of Loyola Academy, it has established Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) in the year 2007, in pursuance of its Action Plan for performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation. Since quality enhancement is a continuous process, the IQAC became a part of the institution’s system.

The IQAC will submit annual quality assurance reports to NAAC as self-reviewed progress reports.
