The\u00a0National Assessment and Accreditation Council<\/b>\u00a0(NAAC<\/b>) is a government organization in\u00a0India\u00a0that assesses and accredits Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). It is an autonomous body funded by the\u00a0University Grants Commission\u00a0and headquartered in\u00a0Bangalore.<\/p>\n
NAAC’s instrument is developed to\u00a0assess and grade institutions of higher\u00a0education through a three-step-process\u00a0and make the outcome as objective as\u00a0possible. Though the methodology and\u00a0the broad framework of the instrument is\u00a0similar, there is a slight difference in the\u00a0focus of the instrument depending on the\u00a0unit of Accreditation, i.e., Affiliated \/\u00a0Constituent colleges \/ Autonomous\u00a0colleges \/ Universities \/ Health Science \/ Teacher \/ Physical Education.<\/p>\n
NAAC has identified a set of seven criteria to serve as the basis of its assessment procedures. NAAC has categorized the Higher Educational Institutions into three major types (University, Autonomous College, and Affiliated\/Constituent College) and assigned different weightages to these criteria under different key aspects based on the functioning and organizational focus of the three types of HEIs.<\/p>\n
Institutions are graded for each Key Aspect under four categories, viz. A, B, C and D, denoting Very good, Good, Satisfactory and Unsatisfactory levels respectively. The summated score for all the Key Aspects under a Criterion is then calculated with the appropriate weightage applied to it and the GPA is worked out for the Criterion. The Cumulative GPA (CGPA), which gives the final Assessment Outcome, is then calculated from the seven GPAs pertaining to the seven criteria, after applying the prescribed weightage to each Criterion.<\/p>\n
