contents This work investigates the dynamical evolution of the universe within the framework of symmetric teleparallel $f(Q,\mathcal{T})$ gravity, where $Q$ is the non-metricity scalar and $\mathcal{T}$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. We consider a spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) metric and explore a specific functional form $f(Q,\mathcal{T}) = αQ + β\mathcal{T}$ to derive the gravitational field equations. To characterize the late-time cosmic acceleration, we utilize a model-independent approach by adopting a particular Hubble parameter $H(z)$ parametrization. The model parameters are constrained using the latest observational datasets, including the Hubble ($H(z)$) measurements and Pantheon+ samples. Our results indicate a transition from a decelerated to an accelerated expansion phase. We further examine the physical viability of the model through various cosmological diagnostics such as energy density, the equation of state parameter and thermodynamic properties. The analysis demonstrates that $f(Q,\mathcal{T})$ gravity provides a consistent alternative to the $Λ$CDM model in explaining the current accelerated expansion of the universe.
