12. Zero Visit (6 Months before the launch of the program) Outcome: Green signal to launch engineering program or program is not allowed to start 1 st interim Visit (End of 1 st year of start of program) 2 nd Interim Visit (Start of 3 rd year of program) Accreditation Visit (Start of 4 th Year of Program) Confirmatory visit if there are still weaknesses in the program in terms of: Faculty Infrastructure Curriculum specially Lab work Monitoring of Programs by Pakistan Engineering Council through Engineering Accreditation Committee

13. Every University has to follow unified curriculum Tough PEC regulations have played major role of deterrent in mushroom growth of engineering Institutions Pakistan enters into the Washington Accord It would facilitate mobility of engineering graduates and professionals of Pakistan at international levels.
