Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (AIUB-IQAC)

Introduction

Quality Assurance is a continuous process of Quality Improvement in Higher Education through Accreditation and Assessment. AIUB endeavors to promote and sustain quality in all aspects and dimensions of learning and operations. To bring the dynamics of education into a high level, in 2008 a quality assurance center (AQAC) was established in the university. The primordial function of the center was to oversee and lead the quality assurance activities of the university through series of building awareness and training of the academic and administrative personnel. In 2015 AQAC was transformed/restructured into an Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) as per mandate by the University Grants Commission of Bangladesh (UGC) – Ministry of Education (MoE).

Quality and Accountability are two inseparable and indispensable actions. Quality is not given in silver platter. It has to be worked out in view of its varying applications and uses. It has to suit and pass the test of the time considering the fast and emerging developments, demands and needs of the potential users. It has to be sustained and made accountable in the process of implementation and close coordination with various units of the university. It serves as a vanguard of quality of the university.

The university’s thrust is more focused on quality rather than quantity. This quality must transcend in the academic programs and services it provides to its stakeholders. The commitment of the management to ensure quality in its academic programs and operation can create a good brand name for the university. Without hesitation, the university started its journey in 2007 by seeking technical assistance from organizations who are committed to QA like APQN and AIU-UNESCO so that it can start initiating QA activities. The management support and commitment of the AQAC staff were sources of inspiration to have its business programs accredited by the international accrediting agency, PAASCU. In a short period of time, in 2011 the business programs, Computer science and EEE programs were accredited one after the other. In fact, it is the first initiative undertaken by a university in Bangladesh. This pioneering initiative has earned an international recognition for AIUB when the Asia Pacific Quality Network (APQN) selected AUIB to be given the award as the Best Model QA University for Asia and Pacific during its international conference in 2016 held in Fiji. This has inspired and challenged the AIUB-IQAC organized in 2013 to embark in another ...
