Proof of recognition as a Higher Education Institution: At Iqra University (IU), quality education is one of the key concerns of the management. To ensure that graduate students transform into quality workforce prepared to meet the standards of 21st century human resource, IU has established a Quality Enhancement Cell. This cell reviews standard of teaching, learning and research by taking feedback from all concerned stakeholders such as students, faculty, employers etc. This feedback is then utilized to improve curriculum, teaching & assessment methodology and administrative services.
The Quality Enhancement Cell strictly implements the quality procedures and standards that are in line with the quality assurance framework specified by the Quality Assurance Agency of Higher Education Commission.
The relevant local agency that assures the progress of Quality Enhancement Cells of private and public sector universities in Pakistan is Quality Assurance Agency of Higher Education Commission.
The Quality Assurance Agency has placed Quality Enhancement Cell of IU in the highest category â??Wâ?? i.e. 80 percent or above score.
