The administration had worked vigorously on compiling academic data over the last three years for the self-study report (SSR) and was awaiting the NAAC peer team’s visit for inspection. The NAAC team has begun visiting the campus on August 24. The team assessed the university on seven parameters, ranging from teaching and learning, infrastructure, governance and curricular aspects.
