What is Accreditation?

Accreditation is a formal process through which educational institutions are evaluated against established quality standards to ensure they provide effective, reliable, and credible academic programs. It serves as a quality assurance mechanism, verifying that an institution meets or exceeds minimum requirements in areas like curriculum, faculty, infrastructure, governance, and student outcomes. Accreditation enhances public trust, supports student mobility, and ensures institutions are globally recognized. It also encourages continuous improvement and accountability. For students, accreditation guarantees a high standard of education, while for institutions, it affirms legitimacy and opens doors to international collaboration, recognition, and academic partnerships.

Accreditation Eligibility:

  • Legal Recognition: The institution must be officially licensed or authorized by relevant educational authorities in its country of operation.
  • Defined Mission and Vision: Institutions must have a clear mission, vision, and strategic goals aligned with quality education and student development.
  • Qualified Academic Staff: Faculty members should hold relevant academic qualifications and demonstrate teaching competence and subject-matter expertise.
  • Structured Academic Programs: Programs must follow a well-designed curriculum with measurable outcomes, aligned with international standards and market needs.
  • Governance and Policies: Institutions must have transparent governance, academic policies, and operational procedures to support effective management and accountability.
  • Facilities and Student Support: Adequate infrastructure, learning resources, and support services should be available to ensure a productive and inclusive learning environment.
