Questions

Frequently asked

What does NAAC assess?

NAAC grades colleges on seven criteria: curricular aspects; teaching, learning and evaluation; research, innovation and extension; infrastructure and learning resources; student support and progression; governance and management; and institutional values and best practices.

How early should a college start preparing for NAAC?

Most IQAC teams need 9 to 12 months. The slow part is gathering five years of data with proof for each metric, so start with the criteria where your records are weakest.

What is the SSR?

The Self-Study Report is the main submission. It has quantitative metrics, checked against documents, and qualitative write-ups. Missing proof for a quantitative metric is the most common reason for a low score.

What is an AQAR?

The Annual Quality Assurance Report that the IQAC files every year. Five complete AQARs make the SSR far easier, because most of the data is already collected.

Is this check an official NAAC score?

No. It is a quick self-check of how ready your data and proof are for each criterion. It is not a prediction of your grade or CGPA.
