Quality Assurance

In recent years, the Indian Higher Education System has become fully aware of the need for quality. Quality and Excellence could not be attained overnight. Organised and focused efforts are needed to achieve this goal. The unplanned growth of higher education coupled with lack of resources affects the quality of education. A careful distribution of resources is mandatory to achieve quality and excellence along with access and equality. The UGC has taken upon itself this onerous task and has succeeded in maintaining the quality of education. It has launched many schemes, which have made some impact in the system viz.
