The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The population of the study comprised 21,639 respondents made up of students admitted during the 2011/2012 academic session in the 74 faculties and 413 departments of the 13 universities (five public and eight private) in the south–east geo political zone, Nigeria. The sample

of the study comprised of 1, 170 students from the four universities sampled. The sample was composed through multi–stage sampling. Questionnaire developed by the researchers titled “Questionnaire on Internal Measures for Quality
Assurance” (SQIMFQA). was the instrument used for data collection. The instrument was validated by three experts, one in Educational measurement and evaluation and the others in Educational planning from the departments of Educational
foundations and Educational Management and Policy all in the faculty of Education Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. The Cronbach’s alpha method was used to determine the internal consistency of the items and this yielded a result of 0.74. The researcher with the help of three research assistants distributed and successfully collected all the 1,170 copies of the questionnaire administered. The research questions were analyzed using the mean, while the hypotheses
were tested using z–test at 0.05 level of significance. It was found out that students’ evaluation of teaching effectiveness and guidance and counseling services were not adequately employed in both public and private universities
