External Review of Institutional Performance and Enhancement (RIPE for EQA) is the Quality Assurance Agency’s (QAA’s) principal review method for reviewing the quality of universities and affiliated colleges in Pakistan. QAA will undertake Review of Institutional Performance and Enhancements to inform students and the wider public as to whether a university and its affiliated colleges set and maintain academic standards and plan effectively to enhance the quality of higher education provision for higher education qualifications.
