About IQAC

The Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of Sonargaon University (SU) was established in 2014 as a major step in pursuing long-term quality standards across the university. The IQAC is a significant administrative body, headed by a Director, that is responsible for all quality matters of the university. It is the prime responsibility of the IQAC to initiate, plan and supervise the various activities necessary to increase the quality of education imparted at the university. The role of the IQAC in maintaining quality standards in teaching, learning and evaluation is therefore central to the institution.
