It is a global concern to set the Quality Assurance System in higher education. For this reason, the Quality Assurance (QA) mechanism is a universal demand now. It is a formal institutional approach that the higher education institutions around the world have been introduced in order to assure the assurance of quality. Quality assurance agencies like accreditation bodies at the national level work with the establishment of quality assurance in an institution. The opportunity of higher education is expanding rapidly in Bangladesh. Both in public and private sectors are coming forward to this sector. Universities are managing various programs according to their own systems. Transparency, accountability, consistency, and evidence of good practice in education cannot be assured because of the lack of effective quality assurance culture. To establish quality assurance culture, a university must have the internal quality assurance infrastructure.
