FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) accreditation is a UGC-mandated quality certification for higher education institutions in India. It grades institutions from A++ (highest) to C, based on 7 criteria: Curricular Aspects, Teaching-Learning, Research, Infrastructure, Student Support, Governance, and Institutional Values.
NAAC accreditation is mandatory under UGC regulations for HEIs seeking specific grants, approvals, or autonomous status. The NEP 2020 framework further links accreditation to institutional grading and regulatory relaxations.
The NAAC SSR is the primary submission document where an institution presents data, evidence, and analysis against all 7 NAAC criteria. A well-prepared SSR is the single biggest determinant of the final grade. RAYSolute develops SSRs that are evidence-rich, narrative-clear, and metric-optimised.
The NAAC cycle from SSR submission to final accreditation typically takes 12–18 months, including the peer team visit (usually 3 days). Institutions with weak data infrastructure can take 18–24 months to prepare a credible SSR. RAYSolute's engagement begins 12–18 months before your target submission.
RAYSolute targets A and A+ grades for all client institutions. Our diagnostic study identifies the gap between current performance and target grade, and we build a structured improvement roadmap across all 7 criteria.
NAAC is an accreditation system that grants a grade valid for 5 years, focused on institutional quality systems. NIRF is an annual ranking by the Ministry of Education that scores institutions on Teaching-Learning, Research, Outreach, Perception, and Graduation Outcomes. RAYSolute consults on both simultaneously, as NIRF score data directly feeds NAAC SSR metrics.
RAYSolute's NAAC consulting covers: diagnostic audit against all 7 criteria, data collection and IQAC strengthening, SSR writing and evidence packaging, mock peer team review, and post-accreditation improvement planning for the next cycle.
