Infrastructure and Learning Resources Under NAAC Accreditation
One of the most important steps in the process of NAAC accreditation assessment is the preparation of the SSR by the institution. The SSR to be submitted to NAAC must contain the preface or cover letter from the head of the institution, summary of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and constraints analysis of the institution, profile of the institution and criteria wise report.
The 4th criteria of the 7 assessment criterias which the institution has to comply with in order to get a NAAC accreditation is-
Infrastructure and Learning Resources
Criteria 4 is to build a good infrastructure, physical academic facilities and support system. While working towards the quality of education for students, building a good learning environment and having the necessary facilities is important. Classrooms, facilities for fitness, labs, technology, library, smart class are all vital for ensuring a quality education to the students of the institution.
This criterion has a weightage of:
- 100 ( for universities, autonomous institutions and affiliated institutions)
