Shaping the future of education
IQAC (Internal Quality Assurance Cell) is an institution-established body that ensures a quality management system is in place and continuously works to improve the quality of education provided.
Introduction to the IQAC-BUBT
IQAC-BUBT was established in January, 2017 under the HEQEP of the Government of Bangladesh which is implemented by the UGC. IQAC-BUBT was jointly financed by BUBT and the HEQEP. Out of the total fund of Tk. 1.36 crore, BUBT contributed Tk. 36.00 lac and the rest by the HEQEP of the UGC. This fund is stipulated for the project period of two years i.e. 2017 and 2018. After this project period of two years, BUBT will have to include IQAC in its own revenue budget.
IQAC is the supportive body of the BUBT management to evaluate, enrich and maintain the overall academic quality of various undergraduate and post graduate programs of the university. In this regard IQAC arranges necessary workshops and trainings for the faculty members as well as officers of the university so that the proper quality can be ensured. This cell supervises the Self-Assessment activities of different academic programs run in this university. It helps the different departments update the course curriculum for meeting the present demand of the world standard education.
