In Standard 1-3:

Ned to specify the 5^th week as teacher’s evaluation week

b. Future program and Improvement plans.

More points can be considered e.g.

• 
  Course outlines are updated on basis of latest editions of books
  
• 
  Number of qualified and experienced faculty has been ensured
  
• 
  More permanent faculty should be hired
  

c. Strengths and Weakness of programs

Instead of strengths only suggestions are given. So strengths need to be added

In Standard 2-1: Degree plan is not according to the table 4.3 of SA Manual.

Standard 2-2: is not explained as per table 4.5 mentioned in SA Manual

Table A.1 minimum requirements are missing

In standard 5-1:

There is a need to specify HoC/Academic committee instead of VC academics as that is for Karachi.

Most of the information is available to students through website and admission site, not through notice boards.

Transfer out is to HEC recognized universities as well.
