.:.GC University Lahore

Universities in the 21^st Century are expected not only to disseminate knowledge but also to create it. Besides, all good universities have to ensure that the quality of knowledge and their product i.e. students are of high standards. This would demand student-centered academic programmes with a focus on a clear vision of the national needs. Thus, good academic programmes need to be useful for the students as well as relevant from social perspective. In our view, any world class modern university should prepare its plans with reference to three guiding principles: efficiency, relevance and quality. So should GC University, Lahore. G.C. University, Lahore is a modern, demand-driven, research-based, quality-conscious, futuristic and affordable institution. Guided by this vision, we attempt to ensure three things in our University: Quality assurance of teaching, Quality assurance of research and Organizational and managerial efficiency. For having an internal self-assessment system of Quality Assurance/Enhancement, the Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC) has been established in the GC University, Lahore, which will design and develop activities and mechanisms for capacity building in the specified areas of academic quality. I strongly hope that QEC will play vital role in the development and achievement of academic quality and standards in the coming years.
