NAAC is changing its model, but it still asks for the same evidence.
NAAC has stopped new grading under its Revised Accreditation Framework and proposed two new tracks: Basic (Binary) Accreditation and Maturity-Based Graded Levels. In its April 2026 notice both were still proposed, and no new criteria or metric list had been published.
Whatever the final form, assessors will still ask for the same records: outcome attainment, mentoring, feedback, grievance redressal and results. So we group the evidence below by the seven criteria institutions already know, and will map it to the new framework when NAAC publishes it.
NBA now asks UG engineering programmes for a fresh self-assessment report on e-NBA. Its 2026 Tier I manual has nine criteria and 11 programme outcomes.
