Quality of higher education is the main key to generate new knowledge and technology. Quality Assurance in Higher Education Institutes is a mechanism by which quality of higher education can be achieved.

At first, Bangladesh government has taken HEQEP project with the help of World Bank and after the IQAC project has been taken for three years. Now every qualified university has established IQAC using their won capacity to enhance the quality education. Bangladesh Accreditation Council has been established to manage the quality assurance of higher education. The unemployment rate had been increasing among graduates in the country from 2015 to 2021.
