Mumbai University may get NAAC accreditation soon

The NAAC team has begun visiting the campus and it is expected that the University will get the accreditation within a month.

Mumbai University is finally closer to getting the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) grade which has lapsed four years back and has not been updated yet. The NAAC team has begun visiting the campus and it is expected that the University will get the accreditation within a month. The team will assess the university on seven parameters, ranging from teaching and learning, infrastructure, governance and curricular aspects.

NAAC accreditation is a performance indicator for higher educational institutes and is mandatory for funds from Central agencies. The university had a ‘Grade A’ score from NAAC in 2012. However, the score expired in March 2017 after MU failed to apply for re-accreditation in time.

By December 2019, the varsity had submitted the Institutional Information for Quality Assessment (IIQA) and the same was approved by the apex grading body. The process for SSR, however, got delayed as MU was shut for at least six months in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The IIQA is a document recording the university’s compliance with the criteria and policies of the NAAC committee. SSR is a form of self-evaluation to identify strengths and rectify deficiencies.

In 2020, the MU had submitted the self-study report to the NAAC committee, however, there was no response from the officials. The team visit was delayed twice earlier due to the second COVID-19 wave and is now finally been conducted. Mumbai University was graded A in the last cycle. 

Meanwhile, Mumbai University has released the first merit list for UG courses and will be releasing the third merit list today; i.e. August 25, 2021.
