In July 2022, Sullamussalam Science College, Areekode, took a major step toward enhancing research quality by forming the Project Quality Assurance Committee (PQAC), an initiative of the Research Consultancy and Extension Cell. Our journey began by engaging with every department to understand their project execution methods, challenges, best practices, and suggestions for improvement. From these discussions, we developed comprehensive PQAC guidelines aimed at standardizing projects and ensuring high-quality outcomes, such as publications, patents, and skill-oriented projects.

We also established a system to collect yearly progress and feedback from all stakeholders, which has significantly refined our approach. As a result, students have achieved remarkable milestones—presenting at national and international conferences, publishing in ISBN books and ISSN journals, and filing patents. The introduction of best project and presentation awards has further motivated students, and their achievements are now documented in annual research reports published with ISBNs.

These efforts have not only imparted a strong research culture within the college but have also underscored the importance of quality and impactful projects for students' academic and personal growth. Students now recognize how these practices contribute to their success, both academically and personally, laying a strong foundation for their future endeavors.
