NBA accreditation is a quality assurance scheme for higher technical education. The National Board of Accreditation (NBA) has revised the Self-Assessment Report (SAR) format for Tier I engineering programs in July 2024 and for Tier II programs in January 2025, aligning with the Graduate Attributes and Professional Competencies (GAPC) Version 4.0 of the International Engineering Alliance. This revision represents a paradigm shift from documentation-focused accreditation to outcome-based evaluation, emphasizing real-world applications, industry readiness and in line with SDGs.
The
new SAR format demands a comprehensive understanding of Outcome-Based Education
(OBE) principles, enhanced CO-PO mapping methodologies, robust assessment
strategies, and systematic continuous improvement processes. The focus of
course will be Outcome based Curriculum, Teaching-learning and Assessment.
Special emphasis will be on Knowledge & Attitude Profile, Assessment and
Attainment of POs/ PSOs and Rubrics. This course is designed to equip faculty
members from Tier I and Tier II engineering colleges with the necessary knowledge,
skills, and tools to successfully implement the new NBA accreditation
requirements. The course addresses critical gaps in understanding the revised
criteria, provides hands-on experience with new documentation formats, and
establishes a framework for sustainable quality assurance in engineering
education.

Grading Policy:
- Internal Assignment Score: This accounts for 30% of the final grade and is calculated based on the average of the best three assignments out of all the assignments given in the course.
- Final Proctored Exam Score: This makes up 70% of the final grade and is derived from the proctored exam score out of 100.
- Final Score: The final score is the sum of the average assignment score and the exam score.
Eligibility for Certification:
- To qualify for a certificate, you must achieve an average assignment score of at least 10 out of 30, and an exam score of at least 30 out of 70. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >=40/100.
