Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)
The Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of City University was established in January 2017 in order to ensure quality education at the tertiary level. IQAC was established as a project for a period of two years with financial assistance from HEQEP, UGC and the World Bank. IQAC has become a permanent organ of the University after completion of its operations and has been sustained and maintained under the revenue budget of the University. The authorities of City University have expressed total commitment to the project which has the ultimate goal of developing a quality culture within the University. Articulation of this goal is quite consistent with the prevalent policy of City University stating that when it comes to quality in teaching, we will make no compromise. Quality Assurance is not just about teaching, rather it is about a culture within the university that strives to improve quality at all aspects, at all levels, of the university programs, processes, and objectives. We see this as a continuous process of improving quality with no finish line.
With the support of University Grants Commission (UGC) and Higher Education Quality Enhancement Project (HEQEP), and the Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of City University, successfully completed the Self-Assessment Report (SAR) as well as the External Peer Review (EPR) to physically validate the report of self-assessment of the Faculty of Science & Engineering, Faculty of Business Administration and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. The following department had gone through self-assessment process in 2018:- Department of Computer Science & Engineering

IQAC of City University has invited several international scholars and organized several seminars and workshops to train the faculty members on developing effective, student friendly, mission consistent course descriptions, on conducting interactive classes, teaching through cases, etc. Further, several seminars were dedicated toward developing research skills of the faculty members.
