NAAV has accredited 418 universities and 9,062 institutions.
Subhas Sarkar, the Union Minister of State for Education, provided the information in response to a written query in the Lok Sabha. “According to information received from the UGC, NAAC has accredited 418 institutions and 9,062 colleges out of the 1,113 universities and 43,796 colleges,” he said. “The NAAC has significantly decreased the assessment and accreditation price structure in order to include all educational institutions, including colleges and universities, within the accreditation system.
The metrics and queries in the associated and constituent colleges’ handbook for self-study report have also been greatly decreased “Sarkar continued.
34,734 colleges are currently in operation without NAAC accreditation, he claimed.
