Another great achievement was received by the Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology as it passed the ISO Re-certification which was held on October 18, 19, 20, 25, and 26, 2021. During these dates, all the University’s offices became so busy preparing for the documents needed and the deans and directors, faculty, and staff became occupied, especially during the interviews conducted by the External Auditors, Mr. Shahid Mustaq and Mr. Waseem Khan from ACS W3 Solutionz.

The 5-day ISO Re-certification Audit was made possible thru the combined efforts of the three Vice Presidents, Dr. Honorato P. Panahon (Executive Vice President), Dr. Rhodora R. Jugo (VPAA), and Dr. Rachael R. Moralde (VPRET); Deans and Directors of the different colleges and campuses; Unit Heads; and the ISO Team headed by Dr. Analyn Gamit (Director, Quality Assurance / QMR); Mr. Angelo R.
