This book is an outcome of the careful study of practices and strategies followed and implemented by the HEIs as directed by NAAC to mark quality performance. Recently, NAAC has introduced a revised assessment and accreditation framework. It has been a grave and seriously discussed issue among the stakeholders in India to accept and exercise the framework and to obtain quality status to the institutes. This revised framework by NAAC has itself become a significant issue and a challenge especially to the institutes located in the semi-urban, rural, tribal and remote areas. Identifying the need and demand of quality discussions on the revised pattern, this initiative is taken up in bringing together experiences, reflections, and contemplation of the stakeholders to contribute quality material on institutional assessment and accreditation process.

This book, being an edited one deals with recent developments in NAAC assessment and accreditation process as introduced by NAAC after July 2017. It comprises of several resourcefully contributed articles satisfying the need to face NAAC A & A process successfully. This handbook shall prove much fruitful to the Higher Education Institutes across India willing to get assessed and accredited by NAAC in the revised framework and also to those who wish to plan, design, and deploy resourceful strategies to develop quality culture on their campuses.
