Nirmith Vidhya (CampusIQ) collects admissions, faculty, results and activities through the year, so the AQAR and SSR come out of the system instead of a scramble.
Frequently asked
How long is NAAC accreditation valid?
Five years from the date of accreditation. Colleges that earn an A++ in a third or later cycle can be accredited for seven years. Your certificate states the validity.
Can we still apply for reaccreditation under the old process?
No. NAAC stopped taking IIQA applications under the Revised Accreditation Framework (RAF) on 30 June 2024. New applications will go through Basic (Binary) Accreditation, which NAAC says will launch soon. Check naac.gov.in for the window.
Our grade has expired. Are we still accredited?
If it was due to expire on or after 27 January 2024 (and before MBGL launches), yes for now. NAAC's public notice of 22 April 2026 extends it until up to six months after Maturity Based Graded Levels (MBGL) accreditation launches. Grades that expired before that date are not covered.
How early should we start collecting data?
Now, if your grade is within 15 months of its original expiry or already extended. Every NAAC framework checks numbers against proof, and gathering five years of records is the slowest part.
What should the IQAC do while the new framework launches?
NAAC asks institutions to keep maintaining and improving quality through their IQAC. In practice: keep filing the AQAR, keep proof for every number, and watch naac.gov.in for the Basic Accreditation window.
