An Academic Audit is one of the highly specialized areas of our expertise. We carry out an audit with all due seriousness and discern various gaps and inadequacies in the desired readiness of the institutes for the accreditation. Upon its completion, we provide a roadmap with timelines for its accomplishment. This sets the stage for various academic, research infrastructure and governance initiatives, often led by the IQAC.
