Revised Accreditation Framework (For Fee structure refer the pdf file) 6

• The three level accreditation processes would be more ICT enabled with
Student Satisfaction Survey and Data Verification and Validation adding
value to the process.

• The first level would be submission of Institutional Information for Quality

Assessment (IIQA) which is more or less similar to the Letter of Intent (LoI) of
the earlier process.

• Unlike in the earlier system, two specific Windows will be opened in an year
for HEIs to submit their applications.

• The first window will be from May – June and the second window will be from
November-December.

• On acceptance of the IIQA, institutions can submit their data /information

online in the formats provided as Manuals for Self Study Report (SSR).

• There would be no requirement for submission of hard copies of the SSR.

• The formats for submission of online SSR are available on NAAC website.
Data Validation and Verification (DVV) and Pre-qualifier Score 7

• At the second level, data /information submitted in the SSR will be subjected
to an online assessment mechanism/process with Data Validation and
Verification (DVV) process after an online evaluation generating a pre-
qualifier score.

• Institutions securing 30% on the quantitative metrics will qualify for onsite peer
review/ assessment.

• The pre-qualifier scores are exclusive of the Student Satisfaction Survey (SSS).

Preparation towards Student Satisfaction Survey (SSS)

• The introduction of Student Satisfaction Survey (SSS) is an attempt to engage

students who are the main stakeholders in the quality assurance process.

• The SSS is conducted concurrent to the DVV. The scores obtained in the SSS
will be part of the overall CGPA.

• For taking the Student Satisfaction Survey institutions will be required to submit
the details of all the students enrolled in the institution i.e. student enrolment
number, Programme, Year of Study, email Id and mobile number.
 8
• NAAC will randomly select students for the survey to be responded on the
questionnaire of NAAC. Response from 10% of the enrolled students qualifies
for scoring on the metric.

Onsite Assessment - Peer Review by Visiting Teams

• The onsite assessment will be a peer review by visiting teams nominated by

NAAC and will focus on the assessment of the information provided on the
qualitative metrics.

• The quantitative and qualitative metrics are distributed in proportion of

around 2/3rd and 1/3 rd respectively.

• HEIs will submit the information and data online in the formats provided by
NAAC.

• The compiled online SSR will be used for the onsite and offsite evaluations.

• Institutions scoring 30% and above qualify for the third level of A&A which
would have two sub processes viz. Onsite assessment by visiting Peer Teams
and generation of results by the NAAC.
• The SSR has to be uploaded along with the IIQA.
9
• The SSR of the HEI the IIQA of which has been accepted will be subjected to
further process.

• SSR comprises both qualitative and quantitative metrics. The quantitative

metrics add up to about 65% and the remaining about 35% are qualitative
• metrics.

• Introducing pre-qualifier for peer team visit, as 30% of system generated

score. Institutions securing 30% on the quantitative metrics will qualify for
onsite peer review/assessment.

• The pre-qualifier scores are exclusive of the Student Satisfaction Survey(SSS).

• The data submitted on quantitative metrics will be subjected to validation
exercise with the help of data validation and verification partners of NAAC.
•
• The responses to qualitative metrics will be reviewed by the Peer Team on site
only after the institution clears the pre-qualifier stage.
• The process of Data Validation and Verification (DVV) by NAAC partners will
be done in not more than 30 days.

• Any Institution found to be providing wrong information/data during

validation and verification stage may be asked for clarification or their
application for A&A may be rejected.
 10

• On the basis of clarifications submitted by the HEIs data will again be referred
to the DVV partner for review.

• The entire process shall not exceed 30 days.

• After getting the report from DVV partner, NAAC will intimate the result to the
HEI stating that they have successfully cleared the pre-qualifier within 10 days.

• This indicates that the institution has entered the next round of assessment –
by the peer team during their on-site visit.

• The focus of Peer Team visit will be on the 30% qualitative metrics.

• Concurrently with the DVV the Student Satisfaction Survey will be conducted
online by NAAC.

• However, this is not a part of the pre-qualifier.

• Peer Team visit shall be organized within 30 days from the date of clearing the
pre-qualifier stage.
 11

1. Onsite assessment of the qualitative components of the SSR by a visiting team

resulting in generation of a qualitative report of the institution identifying the
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges(SWOC) and assigning
scores as per the performance on each of the qualitative metric.

2. On completion of onsite evaluation NAAC will combine the scores assigned

by the teams, the pre-qualifier scores and the SSS to arrive at overall Criterion
wise Grade Point Averages (CrGPA).

3. The final outcome will be placed for approval of Executive council of NAAC
before declaring the Accreditation status and the institutional Grade.

 16
The Grading Pattern – Introduction of Grade Qualifiers

• The revised framework will be more ICT intensive and ‘outcome based ’. The
current grading pattern of NAAC (A++, A+, A, B++, B+, B, C, D) would be
continued for accreditation.

• A system of applying minimum qualifiers for achieving a grade has been

designed and will be implemented. For eg. Universities should score a
minimum of 3.01 in Criteria 1, 2 and 3 for achieving a “A” “A+” “A++”grade.
