FEEDBACK POLICY

“At Achariya College of Engineering and Technology, our commitment to delivering quality education and fostering a conducive learning environment is unwavering. To uphold this commitment, we have established a robust feedback mechanism that actively solicits input from a diverse array of stakeholders, including students, faculty members, employers, alumni, and professionals, on an annual basis. Feedback forms are disseminated to all stakeholders, and upon collection of responses, a comprehensive analysis is conducted. We carefully evaluate the feedback and invaluable suggestions provided, implementing necessary actions as warranted. Subsequently, a detailed action taken report is compiled and presented to the relevant authorities for further review and consideration.”
