NBEAC strives to help business schools improve the quality of institutional processes, teaching, and research; and the Peer Review Visit is a key component of the accreditation process through which the efforts of an institute are validated.

The Peer Review Visit of Air University, Islamabad was held on 10-12 December, 2018. The peer review team appreciated the hospitality of the management and valued the facilitation of the complex schedule which enabled them tour the facilities as well as make informed observations about the key aspects of the business school’s operations. They observed that the business school has worked on the formation and implementation of various policies and procedures which is indicative of their efforts to align their mission, goals and strategy with the vision of the school.

The reviewers led discussions with the management, personnel and students to articulate their knowledge and commitment to the school’s strategic orientation. The visit included verification of information provided in the self-assessment report, interviews of students, faculty members, administrators, and staff, review of documents and materials, review of the programs, and other important areas to determine compliance with the applicable NBEAC criteria and policies.

The peer review team briefly conveyed their preliminary observations and suggestions for improvements during the exit meeting. Air University now awaits a written report and recommendation from NBEAC.
