Quality Assurance Policies and Guidelines
External Academic Advisor

Introduction

In view of the importance of external benchmarking to assure and enhance academic quality and standards, the University has set aside an institutional budget, administered by the Quality Assurance Committee (QAC), for all academic units to bring in external academic advisors (EAAs) to review UGC-funded taught programmes and courses on a regular basis.

All academic units are invited to submit a funding proposal for the appointment of EAAs at the beginning of each academic year.
