Introduction

Quality Assurance is a continuous process of Quality Improvement in Higher Education through Accreditation and Assessment. GUB endeavors to promote and sustain quality in all aspects and dimensions of learning and operations. To bring the dynamics of education into a high level, in 2008 a quality assurance center (AQAC) was established in the university. The primordial function of the center was to oversee and lead the quality assurance activities of the university through series of building awareness and training of the academic and administrative personnel. In 2015 AQAC was transformed/restructured into an Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) as per mandate by the University Grants Commission of Bangladesh (UGC) – Ministry of Education (MoE).

Quality and Accountability are two inseparable and indispensable actions. Quality is not given in silver platter. It has to be worked out in view of its varying applications and uses. It has to suit and pass the test of the time considering the fast and emerging developments, demands and needs of the potential users. It has to be sustained and made accountable in the process of implementation and close coordination with various units of the university. It serves as a vanguard of quality of the university.
