NAAC extends accreditation validity; relief for universities
12.11.2025
Ahmedabad : The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) has granted a one year extension to higher education institutions whose accreditation expired last year, ensuring that their grades remain valid until a new evaluation framework is implemented. The UGC had announced in 2023 that the NAAC system would be overhauled, replacing the existing letter-grade format (A, B, C) with a simpler classification indicating whether an institution is accredited or not.
The commission had also stated that detailed regulations aligned with the new structure would follow soon. However, with no formal notification issued so far, universities that had waited for the revised guidelines found themselves operating with lapsed accreditation. Others postponed submitting fresh applications altogether, anticipating the new system. The Union ministry of education has now instructed all public universities to complete their accreditation under the existing NAAC framework until further notice. Officials said this would prevent administrative uncertainty. TNN
