National Assessment and Accreditation Council

Overview

NATIONAL ASSESSMENT AND ACCREDITATION COUNCIL (NAAC)

India has one of the largest and most diverse education systems in the world. Privatization, widespread expansion, increased autonomy, and the  introduction of Programme  in new and emerging areas have improved access to higher education. At the same time, it has also led to widespread concern about 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) spelled out strategic plans for the policies, and  advocated the establishment of an independent national accreditation agency. Consequently, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) was established in 1994 as an autonomous institution of the University Grants Commission (UGC) with its headquarter in Bengaluru. The mandate of NAAC , as reflected in its vision statement is to make quality assurance an integral part of the functioning of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

The NAAC functions through its General Council (GC) and Executive Committee (EC) , comprising educational administrators, policymakers and senior academicians from a cross-section of Indian higher education system. The Chairperson of the UGC is the President of the GC of the NAAC; the Chairperson of the EC is an eminent academician nominated by the President of the GC (NAAC). The Director is the academic and administrative head of NAAC and is the member secretary of both the GC and the EC. In addition to the statutory bodies that steer its policies and core staff to support its activities, NAAC is advised by the advisory and consultative committees constituted from time to time.
