In the ever expending educational industry, institutes and universities are consistently facing a serious challenge of recognition and acceptance in national as well as in the international market while maintaining international standards. KASBIT QEC enjoys the active patronage of our worthy chancellor, Mr. Arif Ali Shah Bukhari who is strongly committed to quality education along with the maintenance of strong learning levels and educational standards at KASBIT. KASBIT QEC focuses on its various concepts in order to maintain high quality standards.

Our second focus is to provide a safe and secure environment to every individual within our premises since that is the responsibility of the organization. Furthermore, KASBIT QEC is working on research & development in order to contribute successfully in strengthening socio-economic development and self reliance by utilizing our resources and skilled manpower. We at this stage strongly hope that our QEC is going to play a vital role in the development and achievement of academic quality and standards in the coming years.
