INTRODUCTION

The Lasbela University of Agriculture, Water and Marine Sciences (LUAWMS) was chartered on March 07, 2005, through an ordinance by the Government of Balochistan. This Ordinance was converted into LUAWMS Act 2010 in June 2010. To bring the quality of education at par with international standards, the setup of Quality Enhancement Cells (QECs) was initiated in all universities with support from the Quality Assurance Agency, Higher Education Commission, Pakistan. In this context, QEC in LUAWMS was established on 28th June 2011 by the approval of the Syndicate (No. 0312/13th Syn/2011/LUAWMS). The assessment and evaluation of all the degree programs offered by LUAWMS are carried out periodically, and the process of quality improvement is undertaken in accordance with the HEC requirements, direction, and guidelines.
