NAAC Readiness Checklist Format (View and Download)
What is a NAAC readiness checklist?
The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) assesses higher education institutions on the basis of their curriculum, teaching-learning and evaluation, research, infrastructure, student support, governance and institutional values. A readiness checklist is a simple working document that lists the evidence, data and approvals the college needs against each area, shows who is responsible, and records whether the item is complete. It turns a big accreditation exercise into small, trackable tasks for the IQAC and department heads.
When should you use this checklist?
- Before the college starts preparing the Self Study Report (SSR).
- When the IQAC plans its yearly work and wants to review gaps early.
- While collecting data for the Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR).
- During internal mock reviews, so that every department submits evidence in the same format.
How to fill the checklist
- List every area or criterion that applies to your institution, as given in the current NAAC manual for your type of college.
- Against each area, write the documents and data needed (for example, minutes, policies, student feedback and annual reports).
- Assign one responsible person and a last date for each item.
- Mark the status as Not started, In progress or Complete, and note where the file is stored.
- Review the sheet in every IQAC meeting and update it until all items are complete and cross-checked.
