Accreditation

Accreditation for institutes is very important because it allows the learning institution to asses

itself with regards to the quality of education they give out to their students. Parents and

students check accreditation of the institute before taking admission.

Accreditation Introduction for Education Institute Agencies that give out accreditation base their opinion a lot on the school type and what

these schools specialize in. Accreditation agencies have different criteria in accrediting a

vocational school for technical courses as compared to a school that specializes in medical

education. The difference lies in the fact that both schools offer very different curriculum and

different courses and degrees. However, there are some basic criteria that all schools must

satisfy, from which the direction of the accreditation will be based. One of the basic criteria

that all of the schools being looked into must satisfy is their intention to provide the best

education and service to each of their students. Then there is the part where schools must

show proof that they are capable of achieving these.

Most of the schools would have to subject themselves to intermittent and surprise auditing

from an outside source and compare the results to their own audit results which they can

use to verify that the standards of the accrediting agency imposed on them are strictly

followed.

Accreditation for Indian Education Institute

To assure that all Indian institutes get the proper accreditation, the Government has installed

a number of legal organizations that will facilitate better educational standards and

consistent school excellence in its path to provide the best education to every student.

CRISIL has come up with grading system for Indian Business schools. Industry interface,

student admission process, Curriculum, faculty profile, infrastructure is some of the

parameters evaluated by the rating agency to come up with rating points for the institute.

Such rating helps students to know institute before taking admission or considering applying

for the institute courses.

Advantages of accreditation

The best advantage is that it gives the graduates that added advantage. A student who

graduates from an accredited institution indicates that the student was provided with the best

educational standards thus helping him prepare for the real world.

Educational institution can define their standards with their consistent performance within the

accreditation guidelines based on the agency’s results with regards to the content of their

program.

Institutions will know how they can improve and what they should improve on with regards to

their educational system.

An accreditation from the government will always speak well for the student, the institute,

their parents and potential future employers because there is an assurance that the schools’

educational curriculum is up to standards.

Technology is also considered as one of the important aspect of infrastructure of

accreditation process. Institutes using tools and technology for process like Online

Admission, Online Examination and Assessment, Student Selection would get more rating

points related to infrastructure.

than 100% to stay firm in competition and to retain existing customers. Education domains is

like educational environment, events, and way of marketing to reach target audience and a
