Why Assure Quality?
Quality assurance in an educational institution ensures academic excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement. It maintains standards in teaching, learning, and assessment, fostering credibility and trust. Effective quality assurance enhances student satisfaction, employability, and institutional reputation, aligning education with industry and societal needs for sustainable growth and global competitiveness.
