What is the purpose of establishing the Quality Assurance Council (QAC)?
-
The QAC was established in 2007 as a semi-autonomous
non-statutory body under the aegis of the UGC to assist in
assuring the quality of all programmes at the levels of
sub-degree, first degree and above (however funded) leading
to a qualification wholly or partly awarded by UGC-funded
universities.
-
It aims to assure the quality of educational experience
offered in UGC-funded universities is sustained and
improved, and is at an internationally competitive level. It
also encourages universities to excel in this area of
activity.
-
The core operational tasks of the QAC include the conduct of
institutional audits, the promotion of quality assurance and
enhancement, and the spread of good practice.
