Often it has been observed that it becomes a cumbersome task for the parents to choose an apt Institution for their wards who are chasing for B.Tech admissions. Luring advertisements, lavishing infra structures, fake promises and seasoned hospitality distract the admission seekers to such an extent that ultimately they get landed up in a college which is surely not their dream destination at all, ruining their career and parents’ hard earned money both. Once the hefty amount of fee has been remitted which is not refundable, no beacon of hope is left behind besides cursing the fate and waiting for four treacherous years to get over as soon as possible. Institutions play with their career dreams and emotions and the Degree has no worth to grab a job in this highly competitive arena of today. The current youth gets declared with a Tagline “Educated Job Hunters having no hope of acquiring an appropriate job they ought to deserve.”

Thus, for choosing a right academic institution, a bar has to be raised and well defined parameters have to be redefined. A minimum criterion has to be drawn enabling parents and students to take a right decision at the right time paving a career path which can lead them towards an enduing career destination within a stipulated time frame. One of the essential and the foremost parameter to evaluate an institute is NAAC accreditation (National Assessment and Accreditation Council). IPEC, Inderprastha Engineering College Ghaziabad U.P. was one of the pioneers among many to churn their thoughts at an initial stage and took a prudent decision to be a NAAC accredited institution and be a torch bearer for others.

Every higher institution must feel responsible and accountable to impart quality education to shape a better India, the onus lies on their shoulders. Moreover, for this the creditability goes to the prompt management, adding laurels to its ongoing legacy. Let’s explore now what NAAC is all about?

The “National Assessment and Accreditation Council” (NAAC) is an autonomous institution of University Grant Commission which conducts assessment and accreditation of colleges, universities and recognized institutions to reach a conclusion of the ‘Quality Status’ of any Higher Educational institutions (HEI).NAAC accreditation is made mandatory for all Higher Educational Institutions by 2022. It has become an integral part of the education system because of its association for approval of financial grants to these HEIs. NAAC grades the institutes on parameters like: Curricular Aspects, Governance, Leadership, Management, Infrastructure Learning Resources, Institutional Values Best Practices, Research, Consultancy, Extensions, Student Support and Progression, Teaching, Learning and Evaluation. Inderprastha Engineering College (IPEC) has timely navigated them to embrace modifications and strategize comprehensive route maps for all students. Actually NAAC accredited institutes, hedge their students’ success by maintaining the sanctity of education, leaving behind the matrix of market dynamics which become their integral and imperative practice to pursue. 

Last but not the least; let’s ponder over the importance of NAAC accreditation for Students. In fact NAAC accreditation determines the quality of the institute holistically. It evaluates in all contexts like research facilities, experienced and highly qualified faculty members, imparting academics and infrastructure. This facilitates a better impetus among students to choose an institution of their choice which can propel them towards better placements thus ensuring their career will not be at stake. A NAAC accredited institute articulates an evident message to students that by selecting the institution, students’ future are insulated and far away from any sorts of jeopardy. It propagates an instant recognition to an institute as credible and highly imperative to chase the career destinations successfully like IPEC is.
