About QEC

Many universities have set up Quality Enhancement Cells (QECs) to make sure they provide the best education. Khyber Medical University has a plan for all the colleges it’s connected to, like Jinnah Medical College (JMC) in Peshawar. This plan aims to boost education standards and quality, following the rules from the Higher Education Commission and other regulatory bodies in the country.

At Jinnah Medical College (JMC) Peshawar, the Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC) started in 2022, officially approved by the Principal – JMC. This move followed the guidelines of the Quality Assurance Agency from the Higher Education Commission (HEC), as directed by Khyber Medical University (the parent university).

Since it began, the QEC at Jinnah Medical College has been working hard to meet the goals set by Khyber Medical University. The purpose of establishing QEC at JMC is to create a culture of excellence and quality throughout the college.
