Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC)
Qurtuba University of Science & Information Technology (QUSIT) is dedicated to fostering academic excellence, ethical awareness, and research quality. The University believes that true education harmonizes empirical knowledge gained through inquiry with revealed knowledge guided by divine wisdom.
This philosophy leads to the development of competent, morally sound, and socially responsible graduates who contribute to building a knowledge-based, tolerant, and progressive society in accordance with Islamic values.
To achieve this vision, the Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC) functions as the central body responsible for implementing and monitoring quality assurance processes across all academic, research, and administrative activities.
Guided by the Quality Assurance Policy and Manual aligned with PSG-2023 Precepts, Standards & Expectations (RIPE/PREE), the QEC ensures institutional practices adhere to national and international benchmarks of quality and relevance.
QUSIT is committed to:
1. Implementing QA Principles to ensure consistent quality and integrity across all institutional processes.
2. Establishing an Institutional Quality Circle (IQC) and applying the QUEST (Queries for Understanding, Evaluation, and Strategic Transformation) Method and STEP (Strategize Targets & Establish Plans) Cycle to promote Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) and systematic enhancement.
3. Formulating a Reviewers’ Engagement Policy to support internal and external self-assessment and review mechanisms.
4. Developing Stakeholders’ Engagement, Collaboration, and Communication Processes to ensure active participation, partnership, and shared ownership of quality outcomes.
5. Implementing clear Policy Guidelines for Institutional and Student Submissions for Self-Assessment, encouraging comprehensive evaluation and meaningful student involvement.
6. Integrating Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) principles and establishing a Roadmap for effective implementation and monitoring of CQI initiatives.
7. Providing Training and Capacity-Building Programs to enhance faculty, staff, and students’ knowledge, skills, and engagement in quality assurance.
8. Implementing a Students’ Engagement Policy, such as SCALE (Students’ Collaboration and Active Learning in Evaluation), to foster a culture of ownership and participation in quality enhancement.
9. Ensuring Regular Review and Updating of QA Policy Versions to maintain alignment with evolving standards, institutional goals, and external frameworks, recognizing that the QA Policy is a living document subject to continuous refinement.
Supervision, Collaboration & Policy Review
Operating under the supervision of the Vice Chancellor, the QEC collaborates with all departments to monitor, evaluate, and enhance institutional performance. It promotes transparency, accountability, and evidence-based decision-making, in accordance with the Higher Education Commission (HEC) Quality Assurance Framework. Guided by the principles of integrity, relevance, participation, accountability, and continuous growth, QUSIT regards quality enhancement as a shared responsibility of all stakeholders. This Quality Policy shall be reviewed every two years or as required, to ensure ongoing alignment with the University’s mission, national educational goals, and international standards of quality assurance.
