NBEAC requires accredited institutions to become reaccredited as a part of ongoing performance and commitment to making long term quality improvements. Therefore, once the institute is accredited by NBEAC it is essential that it ensures continued compliance in its strongest areas as evaluated, and works towards improving in areas where improvement was warranted. There has been broad participation by various universities in the reaccreditation process, SZABIST Karachi being the most recent.

A six-member peer review team from NBEAC visited SZABIST Karachi on 14^th-17^th October 2018. The team was warmly greeted by the management and staff upon arrival. The main objectives of the visit included a review the compliance of Self-Assessment Report (SAR) in light of the supporting documents, an infrastructural analysis of the campus and interviews with the faculty, students, administrative staff and alumni.

The peer review team led discussions to learn more about key aspects of compliance including a thorough look at the academic programs, student support services, strategic plan, income statements, enrollment profile, to evaluate whether everything is in line with the institute’s mission and vision. The team provided its feedback based on observations on the last day of the visit.

SZABIST Karachi now awaits the results of the re-accreditation visit which will be communicated to the Institute after the next meeting of the council.
