Perception of University Students Regarding the Role of Quality Enhancement Cells in the Universities of KP
The Prime aim of this study was to examine and scrutinize the perception of university students concerning the main objective of quality enhancement cells in enhancing the quality of education in the HEIs of KP. The study was conducted by cross-sectional survey design. A sample of 300 MPhil and Ph.D. scholars were collected from different universities of KP. For the collection of the sample, the Purposive Sampling Technique was employed. SPSS (Version-23) was used for testing the objectives of the study. Findings of the study revealed that university students had perceived satisfaction with research culture, students' performance, and conduction of workshops/seminars. However, students were not satisfied with the teacher's performance and infrastructure facilities. MPhil students perceived better satisfaction on the role of quality enhancement cells in university as compared to Ph.D. students. Similarly, men were more satisfied with perceived enhancement in university as women. The study has implications in academic settings.
