Quality Assurance

During recent years, the realization of need for quality assurance in higher education has become a global phenomenon. Pakistan also felt the need to assess and improve the quality of higher education with the objectives of achieving international competitiveness and compatibility of our academic programs and research quality.

For the purpose, Higher Education Commission of Pakistan established Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) to spearhead the movement for enhancing the quality of higher education in the country. QAA is advised by Quality Assurance Committee for its working and framing policies and programs for enhancement of educational quality.

The Quality Assurance Agency is facilitating establishment of quality enhancement cells (QECs) at all public and private sector universities and higher education institutions (HEIs) in a phased manner. QECs are required to function at the universities for the implementation of quality enhancement policies and programs as devised by the Quality Assurance Committee. So far 69 QECs have been established in public sector and 15 in the private sector universities/ HEIs of Pakistan. NUST is one of the first ten universities which established a QEC at its Quality Assurance Directorate.
