SECTION A
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 Education (NPE, 1986) and the Programme of Action
(PoA, 1992) that spelt out strategic plans for the policies,
advocated the establishment of an independent National
accreditation agency.
Consequently, the NATIONAL ASSESSMENT AND ACCREDITATION

2.2 Catering to Student Diversity
The programmes and strategies adopted by institutions
to satisfy the needs of the students from diverse
backgrounds including backward community as well as
from different locales. Gender equity and admission
opportunity for differently-abled students are also
considered.
2.3 Teaching-Learning Process
Diversity of Learners in respect of their background,
abilities and other personal attributes will influence the
extent of their learning. The teaching-learning
modalities of the institution are rendered to be relevant
for the learner group. The learner-centered education
through appropriate methodologies facilitates effective
learning. Teachers provide a variety of learning
experiences, including individual and collaborative
learning. The teachers employ interactive and
participatory
approach
creating
a
feeling
of
responsibility in learning and makes learning a process
of construction of knowledge.
2.4 Teacher Quality
Teacher quality is a composite term to indicate the
quality of teachers in terms of qualification of the
faculty, teacher characteristics, the adequacy of
recruitment procedures, faculty availability, professional
development and recognition of teaching abilities.

Weightages
Taking cognizance of the diversity in institutional functioning, HEIs
have been grouped under three major categories i.e. Universities,
Autonomous colleges and Affiliated colleges and differential
weightages are assigned for each of the seven criteria as detailed in

Institutions which secure a CGPA equal to or less than 1.50 are notionally
categorized under the letter grade D (Performance Descriptor:
Unsatisfactory; Status: Not Accredited). Such institutions will also be
intimated and notified by NAAC as Assessed and Found not qualified for
Accreditation.
Calculation of Institutional CGPA
Arriving at Institutional CGPA includes calculation of the Key Aspect-wise
Weighted Grade Point (KAWGP), the Criterion-wise Weighted Grade Point
(CrWGP) and the Criterion- wise Grade Point Average (CrGPA). This involves
use of the pre-determined Weightages (W) and the grade points assigned
by the peer team for the 32 Key Aspects covering the seven Criteria. The
details for arriving at the KAWGP, CrGPA and CGPA are given below :
ManualforSelfstudyReportAutonomousColleges
1.
Calculation of KAWGP
NAAC has assigned predetermined Weightages to each of 32 Key
Aspects under seven Criteria. To help the peer team in arriving at
KAGP, NAAC provides suggestive guiding indicators. Using the guiding
indicators and based on their observations and assessment of the
institution (onsite visit and the validation of SSR), the peer team is
expected to assign appropriate grade point to each of the Key Aspect
by using five point scale (0-4).These grade points are assigned as 0/1/
2/3/4 without using decimal points and are referred to as the Key
Aspect-wise Grade Points (KAGP). Unlike in the earlier methodology
where the letter grades were converted to grade points, the current
methodology directly assigns the grade points without assigning any
letter grade.
The Key Aspect-wise Weighted Grade Point (KAWGP) is arrived at by
multiplying the predetermined Weightage (W) of a Key Aspect with
respective KAGP assigned by the peer team. i.e., KAWGPi = KAGPi X Wi
Where,
irepresentstheKeyAspects
2.
Calculation of CrGPA
Summation of Key Aspect-wise Weighted Grade Points (KAWGP) of a
Criterion is referred to as Criterion-wise Weighted Grade Point (CrWGP)
of that Criterion and the summation of the predetermined Weightages
of the Key Aspects of a Criterion is referred to as Weightage (W j) of
that Criterion.
Criterion-wise Grade Point Average CrGPA is calculated by dividing the
Criterion-wise Weighted Grade Point (CrWGP) by the Weightage of that
Criterion (Wj).
(CrWGP)j
CrGPAj =

Where,

28
Education
ManualforSelfstudyReportAutonomousColleges
3.
Calculation of CGPA
The sum of seven CrW GP divided by sum of the pre assigned
Weightages of the seven Criteria will result in Cumulative Grade Point
Average (CGPA) of the Institution. The institutional CGPA will be the
deciding factor for accreditation status of the institution and its grade.
