EQAUP-plus KPIs Manual
Postgraduate Programs
(Masters and PhD)
Deanship of Quality and Academic Accreditation
Assessment and Evaluation Unit
Dear Coordinator:
When filling in performance indicators on the EQAUP-Plus platform, we hope to adhere to the following:
The program only allows numerical inputs (integers and decimals) and does not allow symbols (such as %) or ratio
) : ( The value of the numerator and dominator in the Indicator of type Ratio to one must be entered
. After inserting the value of the numerator and dominator in the indicator of type percentage the multiplication x100 will be done automatically
. The indicator "Number" requires calculating the indicator (outside the system) according
to the equation and entering the result into the numerator. The system will divide the
number by (1) by default, so there is no need to put a value in the denominator.
NCAAA Key Performance Indicators
The National Center for Assessment and Academic Accreditation has Identified 19 key performance indicators at the level of postgraduate programs. All of which are in line with the evolving postgraduate program accreditation standards. The Deanship of Quality and Academic Accreditation has added 5 indicators, to be measured through the EQAUP-plus platform.
The following table shows how the indicators are calculated:

calculate the average of the question rating for both semesters.
KPI-PG-04 Students' evaluation of the quality of scientific supervision
(Average students’ overall rating of the quality of scientific supervision on a five-point scale in an annual survey)
Number
The average overall satisfaction rate of the postgraduate students on the supervision for both semesters (Postgraduate supervision Evaluation Survey).
KPI-PG-05 Average time for students’
graduation
Number
The total number of semesters
Code Key Performance Indicators Type of indicator Method of calculation KPI-PG-18 Percentage of students' publication
