ABSTRACT

Quality is the biggest concern in higher education in India. The University Grants Commission (UGC), established National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) in 1994 to check the quality of higher education institutions across the country. NAAC is an autonomous body set up to look into the matters of quality teaching, learning, research, extension, industry-academia collaborations, evaluation and many other phenomenon’s. The earlier method of NAAC accreditation was felt to be more subjective as it had lot of loopholes. Hence, to bring more transparency, authenticity and objectivity, NAAC has revised its accreditation and assessment process from July, 2017.  Student is the center of all academic activities and thus NAAC felt it necessary to take the holistic survey of student’s satisfaction about the teaching, learning and evaluation processes in all higher educational institutions. However, this step has changed the views about NAAC accreditation process as it focuses on the student’s satisfaction level. The present article is an attempt to focus on the different dimensions of student’s satisfaction survey regarding higher educational institutions and the future prospects of NAAC accreditation process.

Key words: NAAC, Quality, Higher Education Institutions, Student Satisfaction.

The students from different socio-economical background have their unique needs. These needs are to be addressed and the HEI’s should work for the holistic development of the society. The Criterion VII of NAAC is devoted to institutional values and best practices, in which it is expected that the HEI’s should contribute to the society in a novel manner.

As per the fundamental principles of National Service Scheme, a volunteer is expected to remain in constant touch with the community. Hence, it is of vital importance that a particular village/slum is selected for implementation of NSS programmes. As the NSS volunteer is to live with the members of the community during the 7 days Special Camping Programme and learn from their experience during his/her tenure in NSS, the village/slum should be carefully selected for adoption by NSS unit.
