What are the problems with NAAC?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

There have been complaints about its <\/span>accreditation system<\/span><\/b>, i.e., they are unreliable and corrupted. <\/span>For example,<\/span><\/b> a private university has received the highest achievable grade within just over a few years of establishment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Further, accreditation is granted to institutions for the papers they claim to have published <\/span>without questioning them<\/span><\/b> about the linkages between their research and industry.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No verifications are made<\/span><\/b> for the patents won by the institutions, or about the creation of new products\/procedures claimed by the institutions. <\/span>It assesses outcomes poorly.\u202f<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Joreel committee<\/span><\/b> has also drawn attention to the fact that NAAC depends on institutional processes for assessment rather than using scientific methods to validate the data. Hence, <\/span>NAAC is adopting opacity in its system of accreditation<\/span><\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
