GUIDELINES FOR ASSESSMENT AND ACCREDITATION


I. INTRODUCTION India has one of the largest and diverse education systems, in the world. Privatization, widespread expansion, increased autonomy and introduction of programs in new and emerging areas has improved access to higher education. At the same time it also led to widespread concern on the quality and relevance of the higher education. To address these concerns, the National Policy on ducation !NP , "#$%& and the Programme of Action !PoA, "##'& that spelt out strategic plans for the policies, advocated the esta(lishment of an independent National accreditation agency. )onsequently, the NATI*NA+ A,, ,,- NT AN. A))/ .ITATI*N )*0N)I+ !NAA)& was esta(lished in "##1 as an autonomous institution of the 0niversity 2rants )ommission !02)&. The mandate of NAA) as reflected in its vision statement is in ma3ing quality assurance an integral part of the functioning of 4igher ducation Institutions !4 Is&. The NAA) functions through its 2eneral )ouncil !2)& and xecutive )ommittee ! )& where educational administrators, policy ma3ers and senior academicians from a cross5section of Indian higher education system are represented. The )hairperson of the 02) is the President of the 2) of the NAA), the )hairperson of the ) is an eminent academician nominated (y the President of 2) !NAA)&. The .irector is the academic and administrative head of NAA), and is the mem(er5secretary of (oth the 2) and the ). In addition to the statutory (odies that steer its policies and core staff to support its activities, NAA) is advised (y the advisory and consultative committees constituted from time to time. Vision and Mission The vision of NAA) is6 To make quality the defining element of higher education in India through a combination of self and external quality evaluation, promotion and sustenance initiatives. The mission statements of the NAA) aim at translating the NAA)7s vision into action plans and define specific tas3s of NAA) engagement and endeavor as given (elow6 To arrange for periodic assessment and accreditation of institutions of higher education or units thereof, or specific academic programmes or projects; -anual for ,elf5,tudy 5 Affiliated )olleges Page 1 of 81

To stimulate the academic environment for promotion of quality in teaching-learning and research in higher education institutions; To encourage self-evaluation, accountability, autonomy and innovations in higher education; To undertake quality-related research studies, consultancy and training programmes, and To collaborate ith other stakeholders of higher education for quality evaluation, promotion and sustenance. ,triving to achieve its goals as guided (y its vision and mission statements, NAA) primarily focuses on assessment of the quality of higher education institutions in the country. The NAA) methodology for Assessment and Accreditation is very much similar to that followed (y 8uality Assurance !8A& agencies across the world and consists of self5assessment (y the institution and external peer assessment (y NAA).

II. CORE VALUES Throughout the world, 4igher ducation Institutions !4 Is& function in a dynamic environment. The need to expand the system of higher education, the impact of technology on the educational delivery, the increasing private participation in higher education and the impact of glo(alization !including li(eral cross5(order and trans5national educational imperatives&, have necessitated mar3ed changes in the Indian higher education system. These changes and the consequent shift in values have (een ta3en into cognizance (y NAA) while formulating the core values. 9urther to ensure external and internal validity and credi(ility, it is important to ground the 8A process within a value framewor3 which is suita(le and appropriate to the National context.

The accreditation framewor3 of NAA) is thus (ased on five core values detailed (elow6 (i) Contrib tin! to Nationa" D#$#"o%&#nt -ost of the 4 Is have a remar3a(le capacity to adapt to changes, and at the same time pursue the goals and o(:ectives that they have set forth for themselves. )ontri(uting to National .evelopment has always (een an implicit goal of Indian 4 Is. The 4 Is have a significant role in human resource development and capacity (uilding of individuals, to cater to the needs of the economy, society and the country as a whole, there(y contri(uting to the development of the Nation. ,erving the cause of social :ustice, ensuring equity, and -anual for ,elf5,tudy 5 Affiliated )olleges Page ' of 81

increasing access to higher education are a few ways (y which 4 Is can contri(ute to the National .evelopment. It is therefore appropriate that the Assessment and Accreditation !A;A& process of the NAA) loo3s into the ways 4 Is have (een responding to and contri(uting towards National .evelopment. (ii) Fost#rin! G"oba" Co&%#t#n(i#s a&on! St d#nts The spiraling developments at the glo(al level also warrant that the NAA) includes in its scope of assessment, s3ill development of students, on par with their counterparts elsewhere. <ith li(eralization and glo(alization of economic activities, the need to develop s3illed human resources of a high cali(er is imperative. )onsequently, the demand for internationally accepta(le standards in higher education is evident. Therefore, the accreditation process of NAA) needs to examine the role of 4 Is in preparing the students to achieve core competencies, to face the glo(al requirements successfully. This requires that the 4 Is (e innovative, creative and entrepreneurial in their approach, to ensure s3ill development amongst the students. Towards achieving this, 4 Is may esta(lish colla(orations with industries, networ3 with the neigh(orhood agencies=(odies and foster a closer relationship (etween the >world of s3illed wor3? and the >world of competent5learning?. (iii) In( "(atin! a Va" # S)st#& a&on! St d#nts Although s3ill development is crucial to the success of students in the :o( mar3et, s3ills are of less value in the a(sence of appropriate value systems. 4 Is have to shoulder the responsi(ility of inculcating the desira(le value systems amongst the students. In a country li3e India, with cultural pluralities and diversities, it is essential that students im(i(e the appropriate values commensurate with social, cultural, economic and environmental realities, at the local, national and universal levels. <hatever (e the pluralities and diversities that exist in the country, there is ample scope for de(ate a(out inculcating the core universal values li3e truth and righteousness apart from other values emphasised in the various policy documents of the country. The seeds of values sown in the early stages of education, mostly aimed at cooperation and mutual understanding, have to (e reiterated and re5emphasized at the higher educational institutions, through appropriate learning experiences and opportunities. The NAA) assessment therefore examines how these essential and desira(le values are (eing inculcated in the students, (y the 4 Is. (i$) *ro&otin! t+# Us# o, T#(+no"o!) -ost of the significant developments that one can o(serve today can (e attri(uted to the impact of ,cience and Technology. <hile the advantages of using modern tools and -anual for ,elf5,tudy 5 Affiliated )olleges Page - of 81

technological innovations in the day5to5day5life are well recognized, the corresponding changes in the use of new technologies, for teaching @ learning and governance of 4 Is, leaves much to (e desired. Technological advancement and innovations in educational transactions have to (e underta3en (y all 4 Is, to ma3e a visi(le impact on academic development as well as administration. At a time when our educational institutions are expected to perform as good as their glo(al partners, significant technological innovations have to (e adopted. Traditional methods of delivering higher education have (ecome less motivating to the large num(er of students. To 3eep pace with the developments in other spheres of human endeavor, 4 Is have to enrich the learning experiences of their students (y providing them with ,tate5 of5 the5 Art educational technologies. The campus community must (e adequately prepared to ma3e use of Information and )ommunication Technology !I)T& optimally. )onscious effort is also needed to invest in hardware, and to orient the faculty suita(ly. In addition to using technology as learning resources, managing the activities of the institution in a technology5ena(led way will ensure effective institutional functioning. 9or example, documentation and data management in the 4 Is are areas where the process of assessment (y NAA) has made a significant impact. -oving towards electronic data management and having institutional we(site to provide ready and relevant information to sta3eholders, are desira(le steps in this direction. In other words, effective use of I)T in 4 Is will (e a(le to provide I)T literacy to the campus community, using I)T for resource sharing and networ3ing, as well as adopting I)T5ena(led administrative processes. Therefore, NAA) accreditation would loo3 at how the 4 Is have put in place their electronic data management systems and electronic resources and their access to internal and external sta3eholders particularly the student community. ($) . #st ,or E/(#""#n(# )ontri(uting to nation5(uilding and s3ills development of students, institutions should demonstrate a drive to develop themselves into centre7s of excellence. xcellence in all that they do, will contri(ute to the overall development of the system of higher education of the country as a whole. This A8uest for xcellence7 could start with the assessment or even earlier, (y the esta(lishment of the ,teering )ommittee for the preparation of the ,elf ,tudy /eport !,,/& of an institution. Another step in this direction could (e the identification of the strengths and wea3nesses in the teaching and learning processes as carried out (y the institution.

The five core values as outlined a(ove form the foundation for assessment of institutions that volunteer for accreditation (y NAA). In conformity with the goals and mission of the institution, the 4 Is may also add to these their own core values. III. ASSESSMENT AND ACCREDITATION OF 1IG1ER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS The forces of glo(alization and li(eralization influenced the Indian 4igher education in a (ig way. In a situation where 4igher education, similar to the goods and other services has to compete internationally, quality assurance (ecomes inevita(le. 9urther Indian 4 Is operate within a larger framewor3 comprising of several agencies, national contexts and societal expectations and each of these have a unique rendition of the goals. At the functional level, the effectiveness of the 4 I is reflected in the extent to which all these layers of goals mutually concur. In such contexts the A;A process is a (eginning to (ring in uniform quality and position 4 Is in such a way that they address more directly the quality provision and the expressed needs of the sta3eholders. (i) Fo( s o, Ass#ss&#nt NAA) assessment lays focus on the institutional developments with reference to three aspects6 !uality initiative, !uality sustenance and !uality enhancement. The overall quality assurance framewor3 of NAA) thus focuses on the values and desira(le practices of 4 Is and incorporates the core elements of quality assurance i.e. internal and external assessment for continuous improvement. The value framewor3 of NAA) starts with its choice of unit of evaluation i.e. the Institution as a whole. The A;A process of NAA) which involves a com(ination of self evaluation and external peer evaluation implicitly or explicitly is concerned with loo3ing at the developmental aspects of the 4 Is in the context of quality. Self-evaluation is crucial in the process of A;A and has a tremendous contri(ution in promoting o(:ectivity, self5analysis, reflection and professionalism on the part of 4 Is. The self5evaluation proforma of NAA) provided as >manuals for self study? maps out different inputs, processes and o t% ts and ,a(i"itat#s 1EIs to #$a" at# t+#ir str#n!t+s2 3#a4n#ss#s and ar#as for improvement. The self5evaluation process and the su(sequent preparation of the ,elf5,tudy /eport !,,/& to (e su(mitted to NAA) involves the participation of all the sta3eholders @ management, faculty mem(ers, administrative staff, students, parents, employers, community and alumni. <hile the participation of internal sta3eholders i.e. management, staff and students provide credi(ility and ownership to the activity and could lead to newer initiatives, interaction with the external sta3eholders -anual for ,elf5,tudy 5 Affiliated )olleges Page 5 of 81

facilitate the development process of the institution and their educational services. *verall it is expected to serve as a catalyst for institutional self5improvement, promote innovation and strengthen the urge to excel. NAA)7s role in steering assessment does not stop with the coordinating function (ut extends to the post-accreditation activities especially in facilitating esta(lishment of strategic quality management systems for ensuring continuous improvement. *ne of the ma:or contri(utions of NAA) towards this is the promotion of Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) resulting in (uilding a quality culture. The I8A)s are not only expected to facilitate the internalization and institutionalization of quality, (ut also to activate the system and raise the institutional capa(ilities to higher levels ensuring continuous quality improvement. (ii) Crit#ria and 6#) As%#(ts ,or Ass#ss&#nt The criteria5(ased assessment of NAA) forms the (ac3(one of the A;A. The seven criteria represent the core functions and activities of an institution and (roadly focus on the issues which have a direct impact on teaching5learning, research, community development and the holistic development of the students. The NAA) has identified the following seven criteria to serve as the (asis for assessment of 4 Is6 ". )urricular Aspects '. Teaching5+earning and valuation B. /esearch, )onsultancy and xtension 1. Infrastructure and +earning /esources C. ,tudent ,upport and Progression %. 2overnance, +eadership and -anagement D. Innovations and Eest Practices The )riteria5(ased assessment promotes :udgment (ased on values. 9or example the )riterion on >2overnance, +eadership and -anagement? promotes the values such as participation, transparency, team wor3, systems view, :ustice, self5reliance and pro(ity in pu(lic finance. The Fey Aspects identified under each of the seven criteria reflect the processes and values of the 4 I on which assessment is made. The questions under each of the Fey Aspects focus in particular on the outcomes, the institutional provisions which contri(ute to these and their impact on student learning and development.

The strengths or wea3nesses in one area may have an effect on quality in another area. Thus the issues addressed within the )riteria and Fey Aspects are closely inter5related and may appear to (e overlapping. The criteria and the Fey Aspects are not a set of standards or measurement tools (y themselves and do not cover everything which happens in every 4 I. They are the levers for transformational change and provide an external point of reference for evaluating the quality of the institution under assessment. NAA) uses the same framewor3 across the country. 0sing the same framewor3 across the country provides a common language a(out quality and ma3es it much easier for everyone to go in one direction and in evidence (ased policy ma3ing. 1. Crit#rion I 8 C rri( "ar As%#(ts9 .epending on the responsi(ilities of various Institutions, this criterion deals with curriculum development and implementation process. The criterion loo3s into how the curriculum either assigned (y a 0niversity or marginally supplemented or enriched (y an institution, or totally remade, depending on the freedom allowed in curricular design, aligns with the institutional mission. It also considers the practices of an institution in initiating a wide range of programme options and courses that are in tune with the emerging national and glo(al trends and relevant to the local needs. Apart from issues of diversity and academic flexi(ility, aspects on career orientation, multi5s3ill development and involvement of sta3eholders in curriculum updation, are also gauged under this criterion. The focus of this criterion is captured in the following Fey Aspects6

0niversities and Autonomous colleges play a ma:or role in the )urriculum .esign and .evelopment and thus are expected to have processes, systems and structures in place to shoulder this responsi(ility. )urriculum .esign and .evelopment is a complex process involving several steps and experts. It is a process of developing appropriate need5 (ased curricula in consultation with expert groups, (ased on the feed(ac3 from sta3eholders, resulting in the development of relevant programmes with flexi(ility, to suit the professional and personal needs of the students and realization of core values. The 3ey aspect also considers the good practices of the institution in initiating a range of programme options and courses that are relevant to the local needs and in tune with the emerging national and glo(al trends. 1.1(A) C rri( " & *"annin! and I&%"#&#ntation &This key aspect is applicable only for the #ffiliated%$onstituent $olleges' The affiliated=constituent colleges7 curriculum is given (y the affiliating 0niversity or other regulatory agencies. 4owever, the colleges have to wor3 out details for effectively operationalising the given curricula. The process involves orientation of the teachers who would handle the curriculum and proper planning of the transaction. It also requires an understanding on the various teaching5learning practices and their appropriate use. ,ince acquisition of competencies occurs at different paces for different learners it is required that the institutions have specific implementation plans identifying the time to (e spent on specific components.

All the constituents of the institution should not only (e 3ept fully informed (ut also (e as closely involved in the self5study as possi(le. To achieve the o(:ectives of self5 evaluation, the 4ead of the institution has to play a positive and creative role.

Thus NAA) periodically orients senior educationists and experts in specialized areas of study from across the country and empanels them to underta3e the A;A exercise.
