Welcome to the Eastern University (EU), and the opportunity of writing this message for the Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of EU is, indeed, a matter of great pleasure and satisfaction to me. The IQAC at EU is committed to create an enabling environment and quality culture in the campus. The founders of the EU believe that the noble purpose of nation building could be best served by creating skilled and knowledgeable human resources. Ever since its inception in 2003 the EU apical management has stressed imparting quality education at an affordable cost. IQAC of EU started it journey in 2015 under HEQEP project (2015-18); and then EU-IQAC has been operating with the goal of ensuring quality education for the students of this university that will bring positive change in their lives in terms of knowledge, skill and attitude. IQAC is moving towards its goal with the support from the university management, teachers, students, officials, alumni and the society at large. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to EU, UGC, and BAC for their constant guidance as well as supports in running IQAC at EU.

Quality assurance is a continuous process, and myself as chair of the Quality Assurance Committee (QAC) surely will continue to identify the scope of further improvement with the feedback from all QAC members and other stakeholders, and act accordingly to build a better future of our students as well as contribute to the socio-economic development of Bangladesh. I expect the heartiest cooperation of all the stakeholders of EU to achieve the strategic objectives and goals of IQAC for enhancing the quality in every aspects, as we work for positive changes in the interest of EU and Bangladesh. With this vision to be one of the leading universities in South Asia in its chosen fields of higher education, the university never considered quantity over quality. The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) attained the much prestigious accreditation from the Board of Accreditation of IEB for Technical and Engineering Education (BAETE), a distinction very few universities so far have achieved. The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is also in the process of getting such accreditation from the BAETE. All other programs are getting ready to apply for the BAC accreditation.

Our graduates are provided extensive support for career placement, internships, and pursuit of higher studies in different world-renowned universities through the Career Services and International Office. For the development of mental and intellectual perspicacity of the students, 18 different clubs and forums offer different kinds of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities through which our students are emerging as leaders who will help shape tomorrow’s Bangladesh and create a positive change. Generations of students, staff and alumni have built our reputation, and I am confident that EU people of today and tomorrow will add to this reputation in the future. The faculty members of EU are committed to putting their best efforts and experiences gained through years of teaching and research from world-renowned institutions. IQAC also has been offering students focus various events, like Course-wise seminars, Students’ thoughts on national budget, Debate-completion, Essay competition, and Club-wise seminars, etc.
