QAC Approves 2nd Edition Curriculum Design/Review Manual

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has required all universities to follow an Outcome-Based Curriculum by the end of 2021. To comply with this requirement, ULAB's Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) has revised the Curriculum Design/Review Manual, which was endorsed by the Quality Assurance Committee (QAC) in a meeting conducted on 28 June 2021. The QAC is headed by the Vice Chancellor and has as members, senior representatives of the university. The revised version of the Curriculum Design/Review Manual was deemed necessary due to the following reasons: (1) University Grants Commission (UGC) directive dated 6 February 2020 requiring all universities to have an Outcome-based Curriculum; (2) approval of the Bangladesh National Qualifications Framework (BNQF) dated January 2021; (3) approval of the Bangladesh Accreditation Council (BAC) standards in March 2021; and (4) ULAB’s participation in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings. To implement the OBE Curriculum, the IQAC has formed a pool of trainers, who will orient the faculty regarding the new OBE Course Outline Template and the Course-Program Mapping Template.
