History

In today’s modern and fast changing world, quality of education is the core factor that spells out success and distinction among academic institutions.

This dream “Sukkur IBA Center of Excellence” was converted into reality in 1994-95 by academically affiliating it with IBA Karachi and keeping in mind the factor that quality professionals cannot be visualized without strenuous studies, constant struggle, supported by high caliber teaching faculty and modern support services.

The mission of Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC) is to act as a bridge between the institute and the QAA—HEC, to implement quality enhancement standards envisaged by the HEC. The QEC will assist the institute in the area of quality assurance to help maintain and enhance the standards of education. The job of QEC is voluntary in nature and it should not be perceived as quality enforcing agency. The primary focus of the QEC is to develop a congenial environment which will not only support student learning, but also promote faculty research under the HEC guidelines. The quality improvement can only be assured by the mutual efforts of the administration, faculty, students and other stakeholders of the institute.
