Center for Undergraduate Studies, University of the Punjab.
PROGRESS:
Follow up with the Faculty of Science for the submission of their
SARs is done but overall response rate is very slow and dismal.

Program Teams for most of the departments/ institutes/ colleges/
centers have been formed.
Self Assessment Reports of 38 departments/ institutes/ colleges/
centers have been received and reviewed by QEC according to Self
Assessment Manual (SAM).
At the same time, executive summaries & implementation plans of
19 audited departments/ institutes/ colleges/ centers have been
sent to the respective departments, HEC and Worthy Vice

enhance the quality of education.

circulated newly developed survey forms related to the teachers

at the end of each semester and also bring any change if required.
FUTURE PLAN
To motivate the program team members for the implementation
of Self Assessment Manual (SAM) by carrying out the meetings at
departmental level. It may also include the visits of individual
departments by QEC team if found necessary.
