To address the growing concerns in the present Accreditation and Ranking systems of the Government of India had constituted a High-Level Committee. This Committee considered the introduction of strategic reforms consistent with the vision of the National Education Policy 2020 and the need for adopting a simple, trust-based, objective and rationalized system for approval, accreditation and ranking of Higher Educational Institutions with a verifiable and secured centralised database through technology-driven modern systems. Methodologies for facilitating Ease of Doing Business for the stakeholders, duly facilitating students in making more informed choices for selection of institutions/ programmes were also considered by the Committee.

After a series of deliberations, a High-Level Committee has submitted its draft Report on ‘Transformative Reforms for Strengthening Periodic Assessment and Accreditation of All Higher Educational Institutions in India’ to the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Government of India.

In light of this, MyGov, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, seeks feedback and suggestions from all the stakeholders for the finalisation of the report.

This report has now been placed in the public domain until June 22, 2023.

course curriculams be modified to suit industry standards and assessment based on what is required to be assessed so that the students are ready to move ahead with a job as soon as they graduate. final tears should have compulsory projects in association with agencies or companies associated with that field. students to be involved in nation building projects as per their stream and be involved in these. for example, civil students in infrastructure development at grassroots and villages, IT for network expansion and innovative projects in agriculture, rural management etc, aeronautical students associated with aviation etc. thus also gives the prospective employer an easy way of assessment prior employment. practical classes to ne really those that the students would be facing in real life and assessment to be done by selected industry specialist than teachers who might not know the industry requirements

Proposing a complete overhauling of the current system, the Overarching Committee on assessment and accreditation of higher education institutions (HEIs), suggested a more simplified “Accredited, Awaiting Accreditation and Not Accredited” system, instead of the present 8-point grading system of National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). Other proposals include reducing the periodicity for re-accreditation to three years and categorising HEIs into two groups based on orientation and vision, and heritage and legacy. NAAC’s accreditation process has been under the scanner recently over serious allegations against the functioning of the Council and malpractices in the grading process. The ministry of education in November 2022 constituted the committee headed by Dr K Radhakrishnan, chairperson, the Standing Committee of IIT Council.

Outcome-Based Assessment: Emphasize outcome-based assessment to evaluate the effectiveness of higher education institutions in achieving desired learning outcomes and producing competent graduates. Shift the focus from inputs and processes to measurable outcomes, including knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired by students. This approach will help align the assessment process with the expectations and demands of the job market and society.

Stakeholder Engagement: Involve various stakeholders in the assessment and accreditation process, including faculty, students, alumni, employers, and local communities. Seek their feedback and perspectives to gain a comprehensive understanding of the institution's impact and effectiveness. This can be done through surveys, interviews, focus groups, and other mechanisms to collect qualitative and quantitative data.

Continuous Improvement Approach: Promote a culture of continuous improvement by integrating periodic assessment and accreditation with ongoing internal quality assurance mechanisms within institutions. Encourage institutions to develop robust internal quality assurance systems that involve regular self-assessment, data collection, analysis, and action plans to address identified areas of improvement. This will ensure that institutions are engaged in a continuous process of self-reflection and enhancement.

Multiple Dimensions of Assessment: Expand the assessment criteria to encompass multiple dimensions of institutional performance. This can include factors such as teaching and learning outcomes, research and innovation, faculty qualifications and development, student support services, infrastructure, governance, community engagement, and global perspectives. A comprehensive assessment framework will provide a holistic view of an institution's strengths and areas for improvement.

Transparent and Standardized Criteria: Establish clear and transparent criteria for assessment and accreditation that are applicable to all higher educational institutions. These criteria should be developed in consultation with stakeholders, including educators, administrators, students, industry experts, and accrediting bodies. Standardization will ensure consistency and fairness in the evaluation process.
