Program Self-Assessments

Home > Quality Enhancement Cell > Program Self-Assessments

The Self-Assessment Review Process, as outlined by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) of the Higher Education Commission (HEC), serves as a critical mechanism for ensuring the excellence and accountability of higher education institutions. This process is designed to facilitate a thorough and reflective evaluation of academic programs and institutional practices, promoting continuous improvement and adherence to established quality standards. By engaging in a comprehensive self-assessment, institutions can identify strengths, address areas for development, and enhance their overall educational offerings. This review not only supports the institution’s commitment to delivering high-quality education but also reinforces its dedication to maintaining transparency and responsiveness in a dynamic academic landscape.
