About IQAC:

Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) has been established in the University as proposed by UGC and NAAC. The prime task of the IQAC is to develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic improvement in the overall performance of the Institution. It is the part of the Institution’s system and work towards realization of the goals of quality enhancement and sustained development.

Committed to sustain its top position with undiluted ethics, the Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT), Pune, established the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC). The internal quality assurance system plays a vital role in improving the institute systems and processes and keeping control of the Institute’s activities and functions to reach the standard best practices and improve the same. The method of quality control and enhancement is present in the Institute for a long. Though the systems were carried out and the record was kept to that, the presence of formal Cell will give the activity a more meaningful, systematic, and fruitful approach from the viewpoint of process enhancement. The IQAC has been constituted with faculties at all levels, few senior administrative members of the Institute, few representatives from the management, and few Independent external members. Institute has tried to form the IQAC as per the norms provided by the Accreditation bodies. Apart from maintaining the records, the IQAC will give rise to an Audit system. The Institute shall cover the activity through a thorough internal audit process, which will help the Institute in keeping the systems intact and process improvisation. This allows all the stakeholders of the Institute for any function to be carried out.
