The Higher Education Commission anticipates that Higher Education Institutions will work towards achieving excellence through continuous improvements in their quality and effectiveness. In this regard, HEC has taken a significant initiative performance-based institutional recognition and started up with the primary step of outlining the Performance Evaluation Standards for the HEIs to be used for the purpose. The Institutional Performance Evaluation (IPE) comes under the purview of the HEC whereas this process is informed by the results of IQA practice done by the HEIs through the adoption of the University Quality Standards and Assessment Model. The result of the University Quality Standards and Assessment Model thus corresponds to the process of Performance Evaluation Standards. By achieving these objectives, QECs contribute to the overall growth and reputation of the university.
