About the Conference:

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.Quality in higher education is dynamic process which requires up to date development of the Higher Education Institutions (HEI’s). In this era of Information technology Higher Education system is becoming more dynamic and global, in such scenario it is very important for HEI’s to get updated and align them with the system. In order to redefine quality education, HEI’s need to blend high value deliveries with modern learning tools to ensure that each institution has a safe, healthy, energizing, intellectually challenging, and joyful learning environment, which could be achieved through systematic assessment and accreditation.

Assessment and Accreditation is broadly used for understanding the “quality status” of an institution. In the context of Higher Education, the accreditation status indicates that the particular Higher Educational Institutions - a college, a University, or any other recognized unit therein, meets the standards of quality as set by the Accreditation Agency, in terms of its performance related to the educational process and outcomes, covering the curriculum, teaching, learning, evaluation, faculty research, infrastructure, learning resources, organization, governance, financial well-being and student services. Now it’s a high time to initiate the process of accreditation and assessment in many of the colleges throughout the country which are still far away from the functioning of NAAC. NAAC possesses vital quality parameters which can head any Higher Education Institute to the path of success irrespective of its background and geographical location. In Revised Accreditation Framework (RAF), the main focus has been placed to enhance the redeeming features of the accreditation process and make them more robust, objective, transparent and ICT enabled. The revised A&A framework includes many new concepts like Institutional Information for Quality Assessment (IIQA) and Self Study Report (SSR), Data Validation and Verification (DVV) and Pre-qualifier Score and the Grading Pattern – Introduction of Grade Qualifiers etc. Hence this revised framework has put forward many new opportunities and challenges before every academician. This Conference will be an attempt to present opportunities and challenges in the direction of quality improvement and sustenance in higher education as per the new framework of NAAC.

Now, NAAC, Bangalore has modified the criteria of assessment and accreditation and we are very sure that modified the criteria will help the colleges in getting accredited more realistically. This conference aims to create a holistic platform for experts, researchers, educationist, Principals and IQAC co-ordinators to understand the role of new guidelines of NAAC in quality assessment, enhancement and sustenance in higher education and to share their experiences in the process of delivering quality higher education.
