NAAC

The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) is an autonomous body established by the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India to assess and accredit institutions of higher education. NAAC’s primary objective is to ensure quality assurance and continuous improvement in academic, administrative, and institutional performance.

For B.Ed. colleges, NAAC accreditation is a benchmark of academic excellence and institutional credibility.
