State-Wise Analysis of Accreditation Reports - Karnataka

Abstract

From Preface: Assessment and Accreditation has emerged as one of the definite indicators of quality, in the development of higher education, over the last decade. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council, an autonomous body established by the University Grants Commission, for quality evaluation, promotion and sustenance, has on date accredited 94 universities and 418 colleges. This has been possible through the active involvement of the state governments, Departments of Higher Education and the pro-active outlook of the heads of institutions. While the accreditation process is an attempt at profiling the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities of institutions, it also involves a considerable amount of time, expertise and finance on the part of all stakeholders.
