3. Indian _Accreditation System Data collection exercise and requirement is voluminous and time consuming Concerns on subjectivity in the processes, and inconsistencies between assessment. PT composition lack balance Promoting unhealthy competition and was being used as a marketing tool. Many HEIs are not interested in or motivated to participate in the accreditation process. The accreditation system is not in sync with global standards and best practices. Institutes were appointing Consultants and were sometimes resorting to data manipulations to get higher grades. 22/09/24 Dr. Ashok Mhaske 3

Those who are already accredited shall continue to hold the levels with the grade till its validity exists and may apply for Maturity Based Graded Levels (MBGL) from January 2025. 22/09/24 Dr. Ashok Mhaske 15

16. Consequently, as per the approved recommendations of the Dr. Radhakrishnan Committee: HEIs whose IIQA or SSR applications are under process in the present methodology (RAF) may opt for Binary accreditation but not later than 31 August 2024 if they wish to do so. Such HEIs may also opt for MBGL to be launched in January 2025 22/09/24 Dr. Ashok Mhaske 16

17. Consequently, as per the approved recommendations of the Dr. Radhakrishnan Committee: HEIs are permitted to submit their IIQA and/or SSR as per the present methodology (RAF) until 30th June 2024. 22/09/24 Dr. Ashok Mhaske 17

18.

50. Reforms -MBGA Additionally HEI will be assessed based on a Maturity Based Graded Accreditation (MBGA) system Comprising of 1 to 5 levels 1-4 will signify institutions of National Excellence 5 will denote institute of Global Excellence for Multi Disciplinary Research and Education There will be yardsticks / parameters which will be decided by a set of committees soon HEI needs to Qualify these benchmarks for different levels of accreditations. The credibility of these levels will be much higher than the existing accreditation system 22/09/24 Dr. Ashok Mhaske 50

57. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) is taking help from AI for its accreditation process , which is changing from September this year. Under Binary Accreditation system, where there is no human intervention, AI technology will be used to read the reliability of details/data submitted by higher education institutions across the nation. 23/09/24 Dr. Ashok Mhaske 57

58. Director of NAAC, Prof Ganesan Kannabiran explained that in case of any suspicion over the data submitted by the institutions, the NAAC will use stake holders’ crowd sourcing through AI technology . “This will be in the second stage. First stage of Binary Accreditation is gathering the data. In case if suspicion over the data we will approach people connected with the organisation by picking them automatically,” explained the director. 23/09/24 Dr. Ashok Mhaske 58

59. A ready questionnaire will be shared with people connected to institutions. “Mainly, the questionnaire will be sent to faculties and students . These are the people associated with the institutions and the data will be gathered from the details provided by the institutions themselves during self assessment,” he said. The NAAC will create a test score from the data collected from the stake holders and the same will compared with the details submitted by the institutions. 23/09/24 Dr. Ashok Mhaske 59

60. In the existing process of accreditation, a peer team visits the institutions to verify the self assessment done by the institutions. “We will do physical verification only if needed, in exceptional cases” said the director.  To make the stakeholders understand the Binary Accreditation system, the NAAC is organising workshops. The first workshop was done recently in Bengaluru. 23/09/24 Dr. Ashok Mhaske 60

62. According to the Ministry of Human Resource Development, there are 1,284 universities, 50,577  colleges , and 13,921 institutions in India. Since 2015, it has been mandatory for institutions to obtain  NAAC accreditation  to be eligible for  central funding . Consequently, many colleges are keen to secure NAAC accreditation. 23/09/24 Dr. Ashok Mhaske 62

63. Previously, a peer team would visit colleges to review the criteria set by NAAC, and colleges would submit their self-assessment scores to NAAC. With the new system, colleges will perform self-assessments and send their reports directly to NAAC. The data will then be reviewed using AI technology, and colleges will only be asked to provide additional information if there is any suspicion or discrepancy. 23/09/24 Dr. Ashok Mhaske 63

64. “It will be known exactly how colleges have progressed in which field and in what way. This shift to AI technology promises a more precise, transparent, and efficient accreditation process , ensuring that institutions meet the required standards for central funding and overall  educational quality ,” said Prof Ganesan Kannabiran , Director of NAAC. 23/09/24 Dr. Ashok Mhaske 64

65. 23/09/24 Dr. Ashok Mhaske 65

66. In the coming months, NAAC will conduct five regional workshops to gather feedback from universities and colleges on the Binary Accreditation manual before its official launch . Also, NAAC plans to engage with Higher Education Departments and Councils across states to ensure widespread participation in the new accreditation process. 23/09/24 Dr. Ashok Mhaske 66

67. The proposed framework aims to reduce cycle time, lower accreditation fees, and eliminate the need for physical peer team visits. Data validation, primarily quantitative, will be conducted by the institutions to ensure objectivity and correctness in assessments. The framework includes 59 metrics for universities, 56 for autonomous colleges, and 46 for affiliated colleges. NAAC has also developed discipline-specific manuals for fields such as law, health sciences, and management to meet their specific requirements. 23/09/24 Dr. Ashok Mhaske 67
