What is the NBAs Quality

Grading ?
Accredited Programme for 5
Years
[when cumulative score is above 750]
signifies that programme meets and in most
cases exceeds the criteria.

Accredited Programme for 2

Years
[when cumulative score is between 600 and
749]
Signifies that programme
meets the minimum
Nawle S.C.

What is the NBAs Quality

Grading ?

Not Accredited
[when cumulative score is below 650]
Signifies that programme is not
accredited in view of the seriousness
of deficiencies.

Nawle S.C.

What is not the purpose of

Accreditation ?

Not to find faults with the

institution but to assess the
status-ante of the performance.

Not to denigrate the working

style of the institution and its
programmes but to provide a
feedback on their strength and
weaknesses.
Nawle S.C.

What is not the purpose of

Accreditation ?

Not to demarcate the boundaries of

quality but to offer a sensitising
process for continuous improvement in
quality provisions

Not to select only institutions of

national excellence but to provide
benchmarks of excellence and
identification of good practices.
Nawle S.C.

What happens if there is no

Accreditation ?

Accreditation of a course by the NBA or a college or

University by the NAAC does not merely assure a better
standard of delivery of Education but has serious
ramifications in areas like Foreign Higher
Education,Placementsin Multi Nationals etc.
Under the GATS ( General Agreement on Trade and
Services) Higher Education is a tradable "commodity "
with countries "exporting" or "importing " education.
When the GATS regimecrystallises courses accredited
by the accrediting bodyof a country shall alone carry
credibility and recognition inother countries.

Nawle S.C.

What happens if there is no

Accreditation ?

The National Board of Accreditation has

proposed India's membership to the
Washington Accord.It is likely to fructify within
a short time. This will have major ramifications
on all the students who aspire to post
graduate ( M.S.) from American Universites (or
Universities in other signatory countries for
that matter)
When India becomes a signatory to the
Accord an Indian student of a non-accredited
Engineering course may not be able to pursue
his/her post graduation( the popular M. S. )in
the United States or other member countries.
