This study aimed to determine students’ insights about quality teaching practices in higher education. The target population of this study was all the students of Punjab province public sector general universities. Using a multistage sampling technique, the researchers randomly selected 1100 students from six public sector universities. A self-developed Questionnaire comprising of 38 items with seven indicators of quality teaching was used for data collection. The study concluded that students perceive that their teachers and institutions employ quality teaching practices across various factors, including managerial competencies, pedagogical skills, professional behavior, and supportive learning environment, availability of resources, student support, and feedback. However, a significant difference was observed based on gender and age. Moreover, male students perceive quality teaching practices more positively than female students. Interestingly, students’ perceptions about quality teaching practices based on their academic program have no significant difference.
