THE ASSESSMENT OUTCOME
The assessment by NAAC takes a holistic view of all
the inputs, processes and outcomes of an institution
and thus institutions are expected to demonstrate how
they achieve the objectives of the core values through
the data and information detailed in the self study
reports (SSR/RAR).
The Assessment and Accreditation outcome includes a
qualitative and quantitative component. The qualitative
part of the outcome is the Peer Team Report (PTR)
and the quantitative part includes a Cumulative Grade
Point Average (CGPA), a letter grade (A B C) and a
performance descriptor (Very Good, Good,
Satisfactory).
dr m r kurup 16
GRADING SYSTEM - UNCHANGED
The Grade (A,B,C or D) given to each of the
32 Key Aspects is converted in to equivalent
Quantities (A=4, B=3 etc)
Weighted Score is arrived at (e g: 10 x 3 = 30)
Weighted score of each of the key aspects are
added up to get the Criterion Total Score
Criterion score is divided by the Criterion
Weight to arrive at the Criterion Grade Point.
