Their full membership in the International Network of Agencies for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (INQAAHE) and the Asia Pacific Quality Network (APQN) further validates their dedication to international best practices. The collaboration between QAHE and "Sapattuu Bilim" will contribute to the promotion of educational excellence and quality assurance in the region.
The third MOU has been established with the Tamilnadu Council for Open and Distance Learning (TCODL), India.
