The progress of any country depends on the quality of human resources for various sectors of the economy. Universities play a significant role in producing quality of human resources. Therefore, Higher Education commission (HEC) has been emphasizing the importance of higher education through establishing and implementing Quality Enhancement Cells (QECs) at all public and private sector universities. The function of QECs is to implement quality policies and programs as advised by National Quality Assurance Committee of Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. WUM is also committed to quality in higher education by establishing an independent QEC at its university campus.
Quality Enhancement Cells was established at WUM to have a focused attention on quality assurance aspect of Higher Education and to monitor the ongoing quality move in the University. The impact of quality assurance and the changes which it has brought in the University are outlined below:‐

Furthermore, the curriculum for Associate degree program was prepared, keeping in view the importance of Associate degree program to develop marketable and industry-driven skills to fulfil the dearth of skilled human resource in various arenas of industry.

The unique feature of ADP as HEC guidelines have also been incorporated in the BS program.
