Hoshiarpur, August 11

DAV College has become the first college in the district to get National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) accreditation by meeting its test criteria and has achieved the ‘B’ grade.

A special team of the NAAC, headed by Dr Narinder Kumar Yadav, Vice-Chancellor, Central University of Jharkhand, had visited the college last month.

Principal Dr Vinay Kumar said: “There are about 42,443 educational institutions across the country. A revised accreditation framework for the evaluation of various cycles was prepared by the NAAC on July 1, 2017, to assess the institutions from both numerical and qualitative points of view. So far, only 1,816 institutions have registered for their participation in this entire process.

“It is a matter of pride that DAV College, Hoshiarpur, accepted the challenge of evaluation for the third cycle and maintained its firm grip on the prescribed parameters.
