NAAC

Our consultants are experts in the quantitative and qualitative metrics and have answers to every expectation from the HEIs. The fact that Prof Sharma, holds an incredible experience of having personally guided faculty of over 82 HEIs across India in NAAC accreditation, self-speaks for his credentials.

Team AccreditationEdge, however cautions that institutes “MUST NOT” go for the NAAC accreditation without full advanced preparations.

It is recommended that institutes’ Steering Committee must read NAAC Manual and SSR, understand what is required of institute and carryout a gap analysis. It always pays to get an academic audit done by incorporating an external expert and fix timelines to make up deficiencies before taking a decision to go for NAAC accreditation. Once accredited, the grading so scored shall stick to the institute for the next 5 years with an extraordinary effect on its brand and public perception. Not just that, the next grading and grading of even NBA accreditation in various programs shall accordingly get impacted too, as perception of an institute is a major determining factor. It is not quite easy to erase a quality mark stamped on an institute. You must therefore, not just attempt or take a plunge into NAAC accreditation, but instead go for it, only once you are sure that you shall come out of it with flying colors.

“If there a big hole in Institute’s readiness, baby steps won’t do. You would require a top-class NAAC consultant to render a long-term consultancy at your campus. If your institute is in Bangalore, you are immensely fortunate. You have in AccreditationEdge” a top NAAC Consultant in Bangalore, itself”.
