Accreditation from NAAC was a three part process consisting of the preparation and submission of a self-study report by the unit of assessment. Once completed and published an on-site visit of the peer team for validation of the self-study report was done with recommendations of the assessment. And the final decision was made by the Executive Committee of the NAAC.
