Vice-Chancellor is the Chairman and has senior faculty members, functionaries of the University, external professionals and other stakeholders as members. The policies and decisions of the Cell are implemented by Vice Chancellor/UPES Management as recommended by IQAC.
The IQAC plans, guides and monitors Quality Assurance (QA) in various academic programs / activities and Quality Enhancement (QE) activities of the various Schools and departments of the University in accordance with the Vision and Mission defined by the University.
Thus, the Cell monitors all Academic processes and programs; Quality of academic delivery – teaching-learning process, evaluation procedures and examinations; Quality research, consultancy & extension activities; Collaboration with national & international partners for training/student exchange/faculty exchange/ research/resource sharing;

It conducts academic audit, concurrent as well as annual and identifies conscious, consistent and catalytic programmed action to improve the academic and administrative performance in all aspects of the University operations.
The role of the Coordinator/Director of the IQAC is crucial in ensuring the effective functioning of all the members. The coordinator of the IQAC may be a senior person with expertise in quality aspects. She/he may be a full-time functionary or, to start with, she/he may be a senior academic /administrator entrusted with the IQAC as an additional responsibility. Secretarial assistance may be facilitated by the administration. It is preferable that the coordinator may have sound knowledge about the computer, its various functions and usage for effective communication.
Quality assurance is a by-product of ongoing efforts to define the objectives of an institution, to have a work plan to achieve them and to specify the checks and balances to evaluate the degree to which each of the tasks is fulfilled. Hence devotion and commitment to improvement rather than mere institutional control is the basis for devising procedures and instruments for assuring quality. The right balance between the health and growth of an institution needs to be struck. The IQAC has to ensure that whatever is done in the institution for “education” is done efficiently and effectively with high standards. In order to do this, the IQAC will have to first establish procedures and modalities to collect data and information on various aspects of institutional functioning.
The coordinator/Director of the IQAC will have a major role in implementing these functions. The IQAC may derive major support from the already existing units and mechanisms that contribute to the functions listed above. The operational features and functions discussed so far are broad-based to facilitate institutions towards academic excellence and institutions may adapt them to their specific needs.
Some of the functions expected of the IQAC are:
