The Institutional Information for Quality Assurance (IIQA) is a critical component in the accreditation process for higher education institutions in India, particularly under the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). The IIQA serves as the initial step in the accreditation process and involves the submission of basic institutional data to establish eligibility for further assessment.

The IIQA ensures that only eligible institutions proceed to the detailed accreditation process, thereby maintaining the integrity and quality of the NAAC accreditation framework.
