Greetings from the Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of Canadian University of Bangladesh (CUB).

The Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) is established in every public and private university of Bangladesh to develop a mechanism for systematic reviews of study programs, and to ensure quality teaching-learning, research, knowledge generation, and support services standards at an acceptable level.
