The NBA will periodically conduct evaluation of technical institutions and Programs on the basis of guidelines, norms and standards.

The accreditation exercise is designed to be rigorous with several inputs such as quality of teaching, level of research, faculty expertise, evaluation of teachers, standard of infrastructure available in the campus, such as hostel facility, library, medical facility etc. These are taken into consideration in order to help the visiting accreditation team of txperts to have holistic approach and arrive at a rational evaluation.
