Accreditation – NAAC & NBA

For NBA/NAAC

IQAC

As per National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) guidelines every accredited institution should establish an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) as a post-accreditation quality sustenance measure. Since quality enhancement is a continuous process, the IQAC becomes a part of the institution’s system and works towards realization of the goals of quality enhancement and sustenance.
The prime task of the IQAC is to develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic improvement in the overall performance of institutions.

The primary aim of IQAC is:

Goals of IQAC

• To develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic action to improve the academic and administrative performance of the institution.
• To promote measures for institutional functioning towards quality enhancement through internalization of quality culture and institutionalization of best practices.
• Internal Quality Assurance Cell act as a dynamic system for quality changes .

Activities of IQAC

• To conduct SWOT analysis by the departments and teachers.
• To sensitize Faculty, Staff and students about the Quality in the Institute.
• To initiate processes and methods for Academic Quality in teaching departments.
• To conduct Staff Development activities for quality enhancement.
• Regular interaction with students and faculty through formal cells and activities.
• To take Students’ Feedback on different areas of Improvement.

For School Development Plan:

A school development plan (SDP) provides the basis for school improvement and should reflect the school’s philosophy and vision. It lists the priorities and actions for the next period of time – many schools make a general three-year plan that is supplemented by a more detailed yearly plan.

Every School a Good School – A Policy for School Improvement emphasizes that school improvement is first and foremost the responsibility of the school. It is based on the premise that schools themselves are best placed to identify areas for improvement and to implement changes that can bring about better outcomes for students.

Our vision is to embed across all schools the characteristics of effective schooling: effective leadership; child-centred provision; high-quality teaching and learning; and a school connected to its society.

The school development plan (SDP) is a strategic plan for improvement. It should bring together, in a clear and simple way, the school’s priorities, the main measures it will take to raise standards, the resources dedicated to these and the key outcomes and targets it intends to achieve. It will set out the overall ‘roadmap’ for the three years ahead, with a focus on the school’s key priorities, identified following a process of self-evaluation. The school development plan is a strategic plan for improvement. It should bring together, in a clear and simple way, the school’s priorities, the main measures it will take to raise standards, the resources dedicated to these, and the key outcomes and targets it intends to achieve.

UGC have declared that all graduate & post graduate institutes related to higher education should be accredited by NBA/ NATIONAL ASSESSMENT AND ACCREDITATION COUNCIL (NAAC). In this regard, revised guidelines of accreditation have also been announced by NAAC. Accreditation of the institutions is now mandatory and your institution should take immediate action to seek help on this issue from expert organization like ours. The standardization of courses is essential as per the requirement of the Washington Accord. India has become fully fledged member of the Accord.

We provide assistance in quality related areas. Major activities are to guide the Institution in all aspects of accreditation process including:

• Preparation and evaluation of the NBA/ NAAC (LOI) application.
• Documents to be attached with the application.
• Preparing various presentations for the NBA/ NAAC Team.
• Evaluating Central and Departmental facilities.
• Fixing up the responsibilities of each member of the institution i.e. the academic and non academic staff for the visit of the NBA/ NAAC Team etc.
• Conducting Mock Assessment Exercise based on NBA/NAAC criteria.

We have successfully guided and assisted a number of Govt. and Private Technical Educational Institutions to get accreditation.
