NAAC accreditation is a stepping stone to establishing a higher education institution of repute. Getting accreditation is the epitome of your institution’s high quality and standard of education. However, there are several stages to the application process. In this article, we will explore the Self-Study Report for NAAC accreditation.
Let’s begin by examining the correct structure for the NAAC SSR Report –
Self-Study Report Structure
The preface or cover letter is written by the head of the institution. It goes on the first page, and it is the institute’s chance to start the report with a great first impression.
Executive Summary – The executive summary section should contain the institution’s SWOC (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Constraints) analysis.
Profile of the institution. It includes the vision, mission, and academic objectives of the institution.
Criteria-wise Report – In this report, the institution must provide a consolidated response for each of the critical aspects with the Quality Indicators Framework (QIF), comprising of data templates/documents (qualitative and quantitative)
Evaluative report of all the departments (Applies to universities and colleges both)
Self-Study Report Format
Keep the NAAC SSR concise but informative. A bulky SSR with too many details and descriptions is not desirable. Even if the educational institution in question is large and complex, the report can be restricted to strictly relevant information to make it to the point.
Limit the SSR to 200 pages or less.
Keep a single-line spacing in your text.
Use the ‘Times New Roman’ font, size 12.
The margins of the page should be one and a half inches on either side.
The SSR is meant to be submitted online. Create a PDF or any other user-friendly e-version of the report for submission.
