NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) is an organization that evaluates and certifies the standard of education provided by higher education institutions in India. The University Grants Commission (UGC) has mandated that all universities and faculties must be certified by NAAC.

The focus of NAAC accreditation is to improve the quality of education and promote the overall development of students by helping them acquire skills and knowledge through their education. Institutions that have received NAAC accreditation are considered to provide “quality education” to students, so it is beneficial for institutions to strive for NAAC accreditation in order to improve student learning outcomes and ensure best practices.
