NATIONAL BOARD OF ACCREDITATION (NBA)

 
 

<< Back  

National Board of Accreditation (NBA), a body under AICTE, is the only authorized body in India entrusted with the task of undertaking accreditation of technical education programmes.  All programmes on technical education including those offered by University Departments are accredited by NBA.  The NBA evaluates the quality of programmes offered by educational institutions from Diploma to the Postgraduate levels in Technical Education. 

 

Accreditation is based on an 8 point criteria which includes organisation and governance, financial resources, allocation and utilization, physical resources, human resources, teaching/learning processes etc.  There has been a substantial increase in the number of accredited programmes as is seen from the table placed below:
