In pursuance of its
Action Plan for performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation and
quality up-gradation of institutions of higher education, NAAC proposes that
every accredited institution should establish an Internal Quality Assurance
Cell (IQAC) as a post-accreditation quality sustenance measure. Since quality
enhancement is a continuous process, the IQAC will become a part of the institution’s
system and work towards realisation of the goals of quality enhancement and
sustenance. The prime task of the IQAC is to develop a system for conscious,
consistent and catalytic improvement in the overall performance of
institutions. For this, during the post-accreditation period, it will
channelize all efforts and measures of the institution towards promoting its holistic
academic excellence. To that end, Utkal University has set up a fully
functioning IQAC whose genesis and vision is as follows:

In a globally connected world driven by a knowledge-based economy, a key factor contributing towards growth and a holistic development is the pace of innovation. More than independent organizations, universities are better placed to speed up the pace of innovation because of their unique confluence of knowledge, research, resources and bright minds. Utkal University has capitalized on this insight by reimagining its innovation ecosystem in two significant ways: I. Annual Research Scholars’ Conclave: Crucial to the research enterprise are the research scholars and the university is keen on promoting student-driven discovery and innovation. Committed to encourage its research scholars, the university organizes an Annual Research Scholars’ Conclave to provide the scholars with a platform to showcase their ongoing research activities, and also to provide the opportunity of exchanging thoughts and ideas with distinguished academicians and industry personnel, and fellow scholars from various disciplines. The primary objective of the conclave is to help scholars explore and engage with diverse areas related to current trends and future advances in sciences, social sciences, humanities and languages. Scholars from Arts, Science and Language departments participate in the conclave through poster presentation of their research work. Scholars are assessed by distinguished academicians of the respective domains and the best poster presenters are awarded with Prizes and certificates to encourage scholars to drive towards meaningful discoveries and foster innovation, research and development in the university. II. Utkal Entrepreneurship Career Hub (UECH): The role of traditional universities has changed and today’s university students want more than academic degrees they no longer aim to seek jobs but to create jobs. Utkal University understands the changing needs of students and in order to remain competitive and relevant, a Centre for Innovation and Incubation (CII) has been established under Utkal Entrepreneurship and Career Hub (UECH), supported by RUSA, Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India. The objective of the Incubation Centre is to forge strategic connections between industry and academia by inspiring, attracting and working with entrepreneurs, faculty and researchers, and by retaining students with entrepreneurial leanings within the university ecosystem. CII is open to all entrepreneurs, companies, independent researchers, and government and other nongovernment establishments. Through a range of integrated support systems like space, seed funding, mentoring, training programmes, networking and knowledge dissemination, CII aims to create an entrepreneurial environment which would facilitate connections and help the involved stakeholders to actualize their innovative ideas from concept to reality.
