PREFACE
It is heartening that National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) has
brought in new spirit into its process of assessment and accreditation. This has been attempted
as a continuance of the NAAC‟s concern for ensuring that its processes are in tune with local,
regional and global changes in higher education scenario. The revised process is being adopted
from July 2017. The main focus of the revision process has been to enhance the redeeming
features of the accreditation process and make them more robust, objective, transparent and
scalable as well as make it ICT enabled. It also has reduced duration of accreditation process.
There has been enormous demand from Health Science Universities to Assess and Accredit
them keeping in mind discipline specific requirement. As a result NAAC has developed a
comprehensive manual for Health Sciences University (keeping in background the earlier
manual of Health Sciences and also conventional University manual in the revised
accreditation frame work. This document is an outcome of the feedback received by NAAC
over a long period through various expert Group Meetings, which comprised of eminent
academicians representing the University and College sectors. The entire revision exercise has
successfully resulted in the development of an assessment and accreditation framework which
is technology enabled and user friendly. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) desirous of
seeking accreditation from now on will need to understand the changes made in the process.
Efforts are being made to develop manual for Affiliated/Constituent Health Science colleges
(capturing discipline specific requirements) and will be rolled out soon.
It is hoped that the Manuals will help the HEIs to prepare for the revised process of
Assessment and Accreditation.
In an effort to enhance the accountability of the accrediting agency as well as the institutions
applying for accreditation, it is advised to look into the latest developments on the website of
NAAC.
The sectoral working groups and core working groups consisting health sciences experts
helped us immensely us in the development the manual for health sciences institutions. The
contribution of the health sciences experts and NAAC officials/staff in developing the Manual
is gratefully acknowledged.

I. INTRODUCTION
India has one of the largest and diverse education systems in the world. Privatization,
widespread expansion, increased autonomy and introduction of Programmes in new and
emerging areas have improved access to higher education. At the same time, it has 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) spelt out strategic plans for the policies, 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 Head Quarter in Bengaluru. The mandate of NAAC as reflected in
its vision statement is in making 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, policy makers 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 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.
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 NAAC aim at translating the NAAC‟s vision into action plans
and define NAAC‟s engagement and endeavor as given below:
To arrange for periodic assessment and accreditation of institutions of higher education or
units thereof, or specific academic programmes or projects;
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 with other stakeholders of higher education for quality evaluation, promotion
and sustenance.
Striving to achieve its goals as guided by its vision and mission statements, NAAC primarily
focuses on assessment of the quality of higher education institutions in the country. The NAAC
methodology for Assessment and Accreditation is very much similar to that followed by Quality
Assurance (QA) agencies across the world and consists of self-assessment by the institution
along with external peer assessment organized by NAAC.
Core Values
The accreditation framework of NAAC is thus based on five core values detailed below.
Most of the HEIs have a capacity to adapt to changes and at the same time, pursue the
goals and objectives that they have set forth for themselves. Contributing to national development
has always been an implicit goal of Indian HEIs. The role of HEIs is significant in human
resource development and capacity building of individuals, to cater to the needs of the economy,
society and the country as a whole, thereby, contributing to the development of the Nation.
Serving the cause of social justice, ensuring equity and increasing access to higher education are
a few ways by which HEIs can contribute to the national development. It is therefore appropriate
that the Assessment and Accreditation (A&A) process of NAAC looks into the ways HEIs have
been responding to and contributing towards National Development.
The spiraling developments at the global level also warrant that the NAAC includes in its
scope of assessment skill development of students, on par with their counterparts elsewhere in the
world. With liberalization and globalization of economic activities, the need to develop skilled
human resources of a high caliber is imperative. Consequently, the demand for internationally
acceptable standards in higher education is evident. Therefore, the accreditation process of
NAAC needs to examine the role of HEIs in preparing the students to achieve core competencies,
to face the global challenges successfully. This requires that the HEIs be innovative, creative and
entrepreneurial in their approach. Towards achieving this, HEIs may establish collaborations with
industries, network with the neighborhood agencies/bodies and foster a closer relationship
between the “world of competent-learning” and the “world of skilled work”.
Although skill development is crucial to the success of students in the job market, skills
are of less value in the absence of appropriate value systems. The HEIs have to shoulder the
responsibility of inculcating desirable value systems among students. In a country like India, with
cultural pluralities and diversities, it is essential that students imbibe the appropriate values
commensurate with social, cultural, economic and environmental realities, at the local, national
and universal levels. Whatever be the pluralities and diversities that exist in the country, there is a
persisting concern for inculcating the core universal values like truth and righteousness apart
from other values emphasized in the various policy documents of the country. The seeds of
values such as cooperation and mutual understanding during the early stages of education have to
be reiterated and re-emphasized at the higher education also through appropriate learning
experiences and opportunities. The NAAC assessment therefore examines how these essential
and desirable values are being inculcated in the students, by the HEIs.
Most of the significant developments that one can observe today can be attributed to the
impact of Science and Technology. While the advantages of using modern tools and
technological innovations in the day-to-day-life are well recognized, the corresponding changes
in the use of new technologies, for teaching learning and governance of HEIs is an ongoing
process. Technological advancement and innovations in educational transactions have to be
undertaken by all HEIs, to make a visible impact on academic development as well as
administration. At a time when our educational institutions are expected to perform as good as
their global partners, significant technological innovations have to be adopted. Traditional
methods of delivering higher education have become less motivating to a large number of
students. To keep pace with the developments in other spheres of human endeavor, HEIs have to
enrich the learning experiences of their students by providing them with state-of-the-art
educational technologies. The campus community must be adequately prepared to make use of
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) optimally. Conscious effort is also needed to
invest in hardware and to orient the faculty suitably.
an institution. Another step in this direction could be the identification of the strengths and
weaknesses in the teaching and learning processes as carried out by the institution.
The five core values as outlined above form the foundation for assessment of institutions
that volunteer for accreditation by NAAC. The HEIs may also add their own core values to these
in conformity with the goals and mission.
from qualitative peer judgement to data based quantitative indicator evaluation with
increased objectivity and transparency
towards extensive use of ICT confirming scalability and robustness
in terms of simplification of the process drastic reduction in number of questions, size of
the report, visit days, and so on
introducing Pre-qualifier for peer team visit, as 30% of system generated score
introducing System Generated Scores (SGS) with combination of online evaluation (about
70%) and peer judgement (about 30%)
in introducing the element of third party validation of data
in providing appropriate differences in the metrics, weightages and benchmarks to
universities and affiliated/constituent colleges
in revising several metrics to bring in enhanced participation of students and alumni in the
assessment process
Focus of Assessment
The NAAC continues with its focus on quality culture of the institution in terms of
Quality Initiatives, Quality Sustenance and Quality Enhancement, as reflected in its vision,
objectives, operations and the processes. Experience has reiterated that these can be ascertained
either by on site observations and/or through the facts and figures about the various aspects of
institutional functioning. The Revised Manual places greater emphasis in the latter as reflective of
internal institutional processes.
In line with NAAC‟s conviction that quality concerns are institutional, Quality
Assessment (QA) can better be done through self-evaluation. The self-evaluation process and the
subsequent preparation of the Self Study Report (SSR) to be submitted to NAAC involves the
participation of all the stakeholders – management, faculty members, administrative staff,
students, parents, employers, community and alumni. While the participation of internal
stakeholders i.e. management, staff and students provide credibility and ownership to the activity
and could lead to newer initiatives, interaction with the external stakeholders facilitate the
development process of the institution and their educational services. Overall, the QA is expected
to serve as a catalyst for institutional self-improvement, promote innovation and strengthen the
urge to excel.
It is attempted to enlarge the digital coverage of the entire process of A&A. This, it is
believed, will not only accelerate the process but also bring in greater objectivity into the process.
The possible differentiation required in respect of HEIs which are going for subsequent
cycles of A&A, appropriate scope has been provided in the Process. This will allow the HEIs to
appropriately represent the developments they have attempted after the previous A&A cycle.
1. Curricular Aspects
2. Teaching-Learning and Evaluation
3. Research, Innovations and Extension
4. Infrastructure and Learning Resources
5. Student Support and Progression
6. Governance, Leadership and Management
7. Institutional Values and Best Practices
Under each Criterion a few Key Indicators are identified. These Key Indicators (KIs) are further
delineated as Metrics which actually elicit responses from the HEIs. These seven criteria along
with their KIs are given below explicating the aspects they represent.
KEY INDICATORS
Academic flexibility refers to the freedom in the use of the time-frame of the
courses, horizontal mobility, inter-disciplinary options and others facilitated by curricular
transactions. Supplementary enrichment programmes introduced as an initiative of the
college, credit system and choice offered in the curriculum, in terms of programme,
curricular transactions and time-frame options are also considered in this key indicator.
A HEI with the feedback system in place will have an active process of not only
collecting feedback from all stakeholders, but also analysing it and identifying and
drawing pertinent pointers to enhance the learning effectiveness.
KEY INDICATORS
2.1 Student Enrolment and Profile
2.2 Catering to Student Diversity
2.3 Teaching-Learning Process
2.4 Teacher Profile and Quality
2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms
2.6 Student Performance and Learning Outcomes
2.7 Student Satisfaction Survey
The HEIs are expected to satisfy the needs of the students from diverse
backgrounds including backward community as well as from different locales. They would
make special efforts to bring in students from special categories, reach out to their special
learning needs by initial assessment of their learning levels, in addition to understand
possible variations over years and how and what is done to deal with such students. While
an uni-gender institutions explicit efforts are to be made to sensitise students about the
other gender; and the like.
This Key Indicator looks at issues related to assessment of teaching, learning and
evaluative processes and reforms, to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the
system. One of the purposes of evaluation is to provide development-inducing feedback.
The qualitative dimension of evaluation is in its use for enhancing the competence of
students. Innovative evaluation process is to gauge the knowledge and skills acquired at
various levels of the programmes.
These specifications are stated as POs and COs. The quality of assessment process
in a HEI depends on how well the examination system actually tests the POs and COs,
quality of questions, extent of transparency in the system, extent of development inducing
feedback system, regularity in the conduct of examinations and declaration of results as
well as the regulatory mechanisms for prompt action on possible errors.
The real test of the extent to which teaching learning has been effective in a HEI
is reflected in the student performance in the examinations. Student performance is seen
as the realization of learning outcomes which are specifications of what a student should
be capable of doing on successful completion of a course and/or a programme.
All the efforts of teachers and the institution to make learning a meaningful
process can be considered impactful only to the extent students perceive it to be
meaningful. Their satisfaction level is decided by the kinds of experiences they
undergo, the extent of the “comfort” feeling as well as intellectual stimulation the
learning situations provide. Their feedback significantly showcases the actual quality of
teaching learning process enabling identification of the strengths of teaching as well as
the possible improvements. Student satisfaction, thus, is a direct indicator of the
effectiveness of teaching learning in the institution. It may be impractical to capture this
aspect from every student; however, every HEI can resort to a sample survey on a
formalized basis to capture this significant feature. This is the reason the revised
assessment framework of NAAC adopts survey of student satisfaction.
KEY INDICATORS
3.1 *Promotion of Research and Facilities
3.2 Resource Mobilization for Research
3.3 Innovation Ecosystem
3.4 Research Publications and Awards
3.5 *Consultancy
3.6 Extension Activities
3.7 Collaboration
The institution provides support in terms of financial, academic and human resources
required and timely administrative decisions to enable faculty to submit project proposals and
approach funding agencies for mobilizing resources for research. The institutional support to
its faculty for submitting research projects and securing external funding through flexibility in
administrative processes and infrastructure and academic support are crucial for any institution
to excel in research. The faculties are empowered to take up research activities utilizing the
existing facilities. The institution encourages its staff to engage in interdisciplinary and
interdepartmental research activities and resource sharing.
The Institution has created an ecosystem for innovation including incubation centre and
other initiatives for creation and transfer of knowledge. The institution conducts
workshop/seminars on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Industry-Academia Innovative
practices. Awards for innovation won by institution/teachers/research scholars/students, start-
ups incubated on-campus are explicitly commended by the institution.
Exploration and reflection are crucial for any teacher to be effective in one‟s job. Quality
research outcome is beneficial for the discipline, society, industry, region and the nation. Sharing of
knowledge especially theoretical and practical findings of research through various media enhances
quality of teaching and learning. Research acumen in an institution is an evolving feature reflecting
various research output with clear records such as - doctoral, post-doctoral, projects, inventions and
discoveries, number of patents obtained and number of research publications.
3.5 Consultancy
Activity organized or managed by the faculty for an external agency for which the expertise
and the specific knowledge base of the faculty becomes the major input. The finances generated
through consultancy are fairly utilized by the institution. The faculty taking up consultancy is
properly rewarded. University is a resource pool with several persons engaged in research at various
levels. Consultancy shows the credibility of the university‟s research acumen in the outside world.
While the university personnel extend their expertise to other agencies the university also generates
some revenue along with the research faculty. For this it is necessary that the university has a
formalized policy on consultancy with clear specification of revenue sharing between the teacher
and the institution. This may not be a formalized aspect of a college.
Learning activities have a visible element for developing sensitivities towards community
issues, gender disparities, social inequity etc. and in inculcating values and commitment to society.
Affiliation and interaction with groups or individuals who have an interest in the activities of the
institution and the ability to influence the actions, decisions, policies, practices or goals of the
organization leads to mutual benefit to both the parties. The processes and strategies inherent in
such activities relevantly sensitize students to the social issues and contexts. Sustainable practices of
the institution leading to superior performance results in successful outcomes in terms of generating
knowledge useful for the learner as well as the community.
Extension also is the aspect of education which emphasizes community services. These are
often integrated with curricula as extended opportunities, intended to help, serve, reflect and learn.
The curriculum-extension interface has an educational value, especially in rural India.
3.7 Collaboration
Through collaboration the HEIs can maintain a closer contact with the work field. It helps
keep the academic activities in the HEI in a more realistic perspective and also expand the scope of
learning experiences to students. Collaboration can be sought with academic institutions or industry
or other agencies of professional and social relevance. The range of activities could include training,
student exchange, faculty exchange, research and resource sharing, among others. For making
collaborative endeavor impactful it is necessary there is a formal agreement or understanding
between the institution and other HEIs or agencies for such activities.
KEY INDICATORS
Adequate infrastructure facilities are keys for effective and efficient conduct of the
educational programmes. The growth of infrastructure thus has to keep pace with the academic
developments in the institution. The other supportive facilities on the campus are developed to
contribute to the effective ambience for curricular, extra- curricular and administrative activities. A
provision of expenditure in the budget is made annually for maintenance and replenishment of
physical facilities which will ensure their availability on a continual basis.
This Key Indicators elicits information on how the teaching hospital and the laboratories
functions and serve as learning resources. Information about patient friendly services, good clinical
and laboratory practice guidelines and safety measures adopted are sought. Information on the
availability of up-to-date diagnostic and therapeutic equipments to ensure quality of service and
patient safety are also sought in this Key Indicator.
The library holdings in terms of books, journals and other learning materials and
technology-aided learning mechanisms which enable students to acquire information, knowledge
and skills required for their study programmes. A recent development in the field due to availability
of digital means, the functioning of the library has undergone a drastic change. Automation of
library using the ILMS, use of e-journals and books, providing remote access to e-resources in the
library have become a matter of necessity. Providing for these and such other developments as well
as utilizing them well are important indicators of the quality of an academic institution.
4.4 IT Infrastructure
The institution adopts policies and strategies for adequate technology deployment and
maintenance. The ICT facilities and other learning resources are adequately available in the
institution for academic and administrative purposes. The staff and students have access to
technology and information retrieval on current and relevant issues. The institution deploys and
employs ICTs for a range of activities.
Having adequate infrastructure is not enough for effective institutional functioning, but
regular maintenance and periodic replenishment of infrastructure is essential. It is necessary that the
institution has sufficient resources allocated for regular upkeep of the infrastructure and there are
effective mechanisms for the upkeep of the infrastructure facilities; and promote the optimum use of
the same.
KEY INDICATORS
Facilitating mechanisms like guidance cell, placement cell, grievance redressal cell and
welfare measures to support students. Specially designed inputs are provided to the needy students
with learning difficulties. Provision is made for bridge and value added courses in relevant areas.
Institution has a well structured, organized guidance and counseling system in place. Students
benefited through scholarships, freeships and other means should be identified by HEIs.
The Institution‟s concern for student progression to higher studies and/or to employment is a
pertinent issue. Identify the reasons for poor attainment and plan and implement remedial measures.
Sustainable good practices which effectively support the students facilitate optimal progression. The
institutional provisions facilitate vertical movement of students from one level of education to the
next higher level or towards gainful employment. Student qualifying for state/national/international
level exam or competition should be identified by HEIs.
The institution promotes inclusive practices for social justice and better stakeholder
relationships. The institution promotes value- based education for inculcating social responsibility
and good citizenry amongst its student community. The institution has the required infrastructure
and promotes active participation of the students in social, cultural and leisure activities.
Encouraging students‟ participation in activities facilitates developing various skills and
competencies and foster holistic development.
The Alumni are a strong support to the institution. An active Alumni Association can
contribute in academic matters, student support as well as mobilization of resources – both financial
and non financial. The institution nurtures the alumni association/chapters to facilitate them to
contribute significantly to the development of the institution through financial and non-financial
means.
KEY INDICATOR
Effective leadership by setting values and participative decision- making process is key not
only to achieve the vision, mission and goals of the institution but also in building the
organizational culture. The formal and informal arrangements in the institution to co-ordinate the
academic and administrative planning and implementation reflects the institutions efforts in
achieving its vision.
The leadership provides clear vision and mission to the institution. The functions of the
institution and its academic and administrative units are governed by the principles of participation
and transparency. Formulation of development objectives, directives and guidelines with specific
plans for implementation by aligning the academic and administrative aspects improves the overall
quality of the institutional provisions.
The process of planning human resources including recruitment, performance appraisal and
planning professional development programmes and seeking appropriate feedback, analysis of
responses and ensure that they form the basis for planning. Efforts are made to upgrade the
professional competence of the staff. There are mechanisms evolved for regular performance
appraisal of staff.
Budgeting and optimum utilization of finance as well as mobilization of resources are the
issues considered under this Key Indicator. There are established procedures and processes for
planning and allocation of financial resources. The institution has developed strategies for
mobilizing resources and ensures transparency in financial management of the institution. The
income and expenditure of the institution are subjected to regular internal and external audit.
The internal quality assurance systems of HEIs are Self-regulated responsibilities of the
higher education institutions, aimed at continuous improvement of quality and achieving academic
excellence. The institution has mechanisms for academic and administrative auditing. It adopts
quality management strategies in all academic and administrative aspects. The institution has an
IQAC and adopts a participatory approach in managing its provisions.
ethics, but the way it addresses these and evolves practices will always be unique. Every institution
faces and resolves various kinds of internal pressures and situations while doing this. Some
meaningful practices pertinent to such situations are evolved within the institution and these help
smooth functioning and also lead to enhanced impact. Such practices which are evolved internally
by the institution leading to improvements in any one aspect of its functioning – academic,
administrative or organizational, - are recognized as a “best practices”. Over a period of time, due to
such unique ways of functioning each institution develops distinct characteristic which becomes its
recognizable attribute.
KEY INDICATORS
The institution organizes gender equity promotion programmes. The institution displays
sensitivity to issues like climate change and environmental issues. It adopts environment friendly
practices and takes necessary actions such as – energy conservation, rain water harvesting, waste
recycling (solid/liquid waste management, e-waste management), carbon neutral, green practices
etc. The institution facilitates the differently abled (Divyangjan friendliness), effective dealing of
location advantages and disadvantages (situatedness), explicit concern for human values and
professional ethics etc. In other words, the concerns for social responsibilities as well as the values
held by the institution are explicit in its regular activities.
Any practice or practices that the institution has internally evolved and used during the last
few years leading to positive impact on the regular functioning of the institution can be identified as
“best practice/s”. These are not any activity prescribed by some authority. At some point in time the
institution evolves some innovation or a change in some aspect of functioning. This practice is
relevant mainly within the institution at a given point in time. It could be in respect of teaching
learning, office practices, maintenance and up keep of things or dealing with human beings or
money matters. But adopting that practice has resolved the difficulty or has brought in greater ease
in working in that aspect. In brief, these „best practices’ are relevant within the institutional context
and may pertain to either academic or administrative or organizational aspects of institutional
functioning.
Every institution would like to be recognized for certain of its attributes which make it
„distinct‟, or, one of its kinds. Such attributes characterize the institution and are reflected in all its
activities in focus and practice.
Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), if they have a record of at least two batches of
students graduated or been in existence for six years, whichever is earlier, are eligible to
apply for the process of Assessment and Accreditation (A&A) of NAAC, and fulfil the other
conditions or are covered by the other provisions, if any, mentioned below:
a) Provided the Colleges are affiliated to a University recognised by UGC for the purposes
of affiliation. Constituent colleges of a Private and Deemed- to-be Universities are
