ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. Meanwhile, the varsity is yet to implement some of the major recommendations made by NAAC team during its last visit, including the consolidation of small cognate departments and recruitment of more faculty members.ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. The re-application process has been significantly delayed because the university last year struggled to collect the data for SSR for which a panel was also constituted. An NAAC grade ‘A’ is the eligibility criteria for even for the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) grant.ĭuring the last NAAC visit in 2015, the council had given the university an A-grade with a comprehensive score of 3.35 out of four. NAAC accreditation is a performance indicator for higher educational institutes and is mandatory for applying for funds from central agencies. PU’s NAAC grade had expired on June 24, 2022, but the varsity was not ready to go for another round of accreditation at that time. IIQA ascertains whether an institution is “accreditation ready”. The varsity has already submitted its Institutional Information for Quality Assessment (IIQA) that officials said had been accepted by NAAC.Īs per the procedure laid down by the council, IIQA is to be submitted before SSR that is filed 45 days after IIQA acceptance.

Eight months after its National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) grade expired, Panjab University (PU) on Friday submitted the self-study report (SSR) to the accreditation body for the grade’s renewal.
