The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) awarded an A grade to Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham.
A large team was deputed from the national accreditation body in Bangalore to visit all 15 schools on our 5 campuses located in 3 different states, during the first week of November. An educational institution has to be at least five years old before becoming eligible to apply for NAAC accreditation. Amrita University just completed six years this January. NAAC is a fourteen-year old autonomous body for accreditation of Indian colleges and universities; it was established by the UGC in 1994. A is the highest grade it awards to the best-in-class institutions for higher learning.
"We are today, perhaps, the only university in the country with five campuses," stated the Pro-Chancellor, Br. Abhayamrita Chaitanya, in a letter to the entire Amrita fraternity including students, faculty, and staff. "The NAAC team was appreciative of the fact that in spite of the multiple campuses, multiple schools, multiple disciplines, we are a very cohesive, vibrant, dedicated and well managed unit. Almost every school in the university is less than ten years old," he added.
