The committee will take necessary steps to rectify defects and inadequacies if any. Periodical reports will be filed electronically (online) to the KUHS AMC as the Institutional Academic Committee Report (Internal Academic Audit Proforma) twice a year.
From a practical point of view each Heads of Department shall ensure that the academic programs are planned, implemented and documented in the manner envisaged in the Regulations and Syllabus of KUHS and reported to the Institutional Academic Committee in a regular manner and compiled for submission in the electronic format
TIER-II

- Chairman: Pro-Vice Chancellor,
- Convener: Dean (Academic)
- Members: Deans of Faculties
- Special Invitees: Dean (Research), Dean (Student Affairs)
The AMC will receive the periodical reports from the affiliated Institutions through a dedicated portal. A software has been developed indigenously for this purpose by the IT Department of KUHS. It will generate a detailed report as and when the data is received from the institutions. The Institutions in turn can generate a receipt once the report has been filed. These Bi-Annual AMC reports shall be mandatory for the continuation of affiliation in future. KUHS may constitute a team and conduct Academic Inspections to the Institutions, randomly selected, to Physically verify the activities shown in the reports. These Academic Inspections will be of non-punitive nature and proactive, meant to give broad guide lines and directions to rectify the deficiencies and lacunae in the implementation of KUHS Academic Programs and Directives. It will also take into account the achievements and unique initiatives of the institutions as part of recognising excellence. The AMC will report to the Vice Chancellor and to the Academic Council through him.
