Foreword
National Board of Accreditation (NBA) in its present form has come into existence as an
autonomous body with effect from 7th January 2010, under the aegis of AICTE, with the
objective of assurance of quality and relevance of education, especially in technical disciplines,
i.e., engineering & technology, management, architecture, pharmacy, hospitality and mass
communication, through the mechanism of accreditation of programs offered by technical
institutions.
NBA had decided to switch over to outcome-based system of accreditation in order to make it
substantially equivalent to the one followed by the permanent signatories of Washington
Accord. The broad objective is to have a new accreditation process which could assure that
the graduates of undergraduate engineering programs accredited by NBA have sound
knowledge of fundamentals of science and mathematics, skills for solving engineering problems
and zeal for continuous learning among others.
With this in view, NBA had constituted a committee under the chairmanship of Prof. Rajeev
Kumar with Prof. A.K. Gupta, Prof. S. Narayanan, Prof. Raj Senani and Prof. T. Ramesh as
members to prepare draft document for the accreditation of undergraduate engineering
programs. The document drafted by this committee was looked into by another committee
comprising of Prof. D.V. Singh, Prof. Ranjan Bhattacharya and Prof. Ashwini Kumar and they
have given their valuable inputs to the document. The document so evolved was deliberated
among stake-holders and tested through mock drills.
NBA is deeply indebted to Prof. B.C. Majumdar, Chairman, NBA and the Mentors of Washington
Accord for NBA-India, Prof. Raman Menon Unnikrishnan, Dean, College of Engineering and
Computer Science, California State University, Fullerton, California, USA and Prof. Kai Sang
Lock, Chairman, Engineering Accreditation Board, Institution of Engineers, Singapore for their
suggestions and valuable guidance for the finalization of the manual.
This document is open to suggestions from all the stakeholders for bringing any further
improvements in the efforts of NBA to have such accreditation parameters and processes that
would further improve its quality assurance mechanism for undergraduate engineering
programs.

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background
Indian higher education system is the third largest system in the world. In an increasingly technologically dependent world, expansion of higher education sector is imperative in an emerging economy such as India as evidenced by the phenomenal growth and development in technical education during the past two decades. The
number of institutions has multiplied exponentially, from a modest number around 30 colleges in 1950-51, to
more than 20,000 colleges and from 20 universities to more than 500 universities awarding degrees, which
include all types of institutions, namely, central, state, private, govt. aided, deemed to be universities and other
institutes of national importance. The challenge is to ensure its quality to the stakeholders along with the expansion. To meet this challenge, the issue of quality needs to be addressed, debated and taken forward in a systematic manner.
There are debates across continents as to who sets the standards for quality. The accreditation system prevailing
in various countries provides a measure of educational quality. Accreditation is the principal means of quality
assurance in higher education and reflects the fact that in achieving recognition, the institution or program of
study is committed and open to external review to meet certain minimum specified standards and also seeks
ways to enhance the quality of education.
There is a great deal of discussion in the country about the various approaches to quality measurement, especially, in the context of unprecedented expansion of higher educational institutions and programs, introduction
of newer disciplines, entry and operation of foreign institutions in a variety of forms, and desire for global
recognition through international accords (WTO/ Mutual Recognition, Washington Accord and Other National
Protocols). With significant expansion of higher educational institutions in India, both publicly and privately
funded, a mandatory and robust accreditation system is required that could provide a common frame of reference for students and other stakeholders to obtain credible information on academic quality across institutions
is required.
Through the accreditation process, an agency or its designated representative evaluates the quality of a higher
education institution as a whole or of a specific educational program, in order to formally recognize it as having
met certain predetermined minimal criteria or standards. The result of this process is usually the awarding of a
status of recognition, and sometimes of a license to conduct educational programs within a time-limited validity.
The process can imply initial as well as periodic self-study and evaluation by external peers. The accreditation
process generally involves three steps with specific activities:
(i) a self-evaluation process conducted by the faculty, the administrators and the staff of the institution or
academic program, resulting in a report that takes as its reference set of standards and criteria of the
accrediting body;
(ii) a site visit, conducted by a team of peers, selected by the accrediting organization, which reviews the
evidence, visits the premises and interviews the academic and administrative staff resulting in an assessment report, including a recommendation to the accrediting body; and
(iii) examination of the evidence and recommendation on the basis of the given set of criteria concerning
quality and resulting in a final judgment and the communication of the formal decision to the institution and other constituencies, if appropriate.
Presently, accreditation is not mandatory and there is no law to govern the process of accreditation. There are
two Central bodies involved in accreditation of institutions; the National Accreditation Assessment Council (NAAC)
and the National Board of Accreditation Board (NBA). NAAC was set up in 1994 by the University Grants Commission (UGC) to make quality an essential element through a combination of internal and external quality
assessment and accreditation. NBA was constituted as an autonomous body, under section 10(u) of the AICTE
Act, 1987. It is expected that with the passage of the legislation to provide for accreditation of higher educational institutions and to create a regulatory authority for the purpose, many of the remaining quality issues will
be resolved, for some time to come.
The spirit of continuous improvement is a prerequisite for any quality initiative. Educational institutions are no
exception to this. ISO 9000 and such initiatives focus on meeting customer expectations and making a wholehearted effort to exceed the same. The process of accreditation is an effort in this direction, to meet the quality
goals in education.

Criterion VIII
Curriculum (125)
VIII-P.1 Contents of Basic Science, Humanities and Programme Specific Courses Core,
Elective (20)
The Institution needs to justify the balance in the composition curriculum with basic science,
humanities, pr o g r a mme s p e c i f i c courses and their distribution in core and elective and breadth of
the offerings, so that the POs are satisfied.
VIII-P.4
Criterion IX
Criterion X
PART
III
PEOs are broad statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments that the
programme is preparing its graduates to accomplish. For example, PEOs of an academic
programme might read like this:
Mission statement
Mission statements are essentially the means to achieve the vision of the institution. For
example, if the vision is to create high quality engineering professionals, then the mission could
be to offer a well balanced programme of instruction, practical experience and opportunities for
an overall personality development. Vision is a futuristic statement that the institution would
like to achieve over a long period of time, and mission is the means by which it proposes to
move towards this vision.
The process of development of PEOs
Mapping of PEOs with mission statements. Describe how the PEOs relate to the
institutional agenda and stakeholder interests.
Assessment and evaluation of PEOs. PEOs could be assessed with data from placement
statistics, alumni feedback, employer surveys, industry inputs, etc. It may also include
associated surveys from other stakeholders. From the data collected, evaluation of the
extent to which the PEOs have been achieved could be ascertained. It is expected that
the relevant data and statistics is documented in the Self Assessment Report.
Program Outcomes
Program outcomes are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do
by the time of graduation. These relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviors.
Engineering programs must demonstrate that their students attain the following outcomes:
(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering,
(b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data,
(c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints
such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and
sustainability,
(d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams,
(e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems,
(f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility,
(g) an ability to communicate effectively,
(h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context,
(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning,
(j) a knowledge of contemporary issues, and
(k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
Program outcomes are outcomes (a) through (k) as mentioned above. One or more ( at least one ) additional
outcome(s) which is program specific may be articulated for the program. Program outcomes must foster
attainment of program educational objectives.
The following section describes some examples of the outcome assessment process. The visiting team will have access
to the relevant documents that contain the material justifying the attainment of each outcome.
apply a scientific principle and use of mathematics to develop an equation that can be
used for the solution of problem. The goal could be at least 80% of the students come
up with the correct solution on that problem.
Say for example, if the program is electronics engineering a course on Electronic
Design of Circuits requires the students to apply laws of Physics to the flow carriers
in semi conductivity materials as also to be able to establish diffusion- diffraction
equations at functional boundaries.
Documentation: question papers, answer scripts etc.
(b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data,
There may be several scopes in the curriculum of a program where this assessment can be performed. If the
program is Bio-Technology then this ability may be assessed in Genetic Engineering Laboratory and
Bioprocess Laboratory. The Students of these courses are assigned to clone a bacterial or a
human gene. Towards this, the students are required to identify the contours of the gene,
design primers suitable for amplification, the vectors and their processing suitable for the task
at hand, conduct the experiment and demonstrate the outcome of the exercise. Similarly, a
typical assignment could be to evaluate the efficacy of using different carbon sources for the
production of a biologically derived product, such as an enzyme. The students are required to
identify suitable raw materials for the process, plan an experiment to determine the dosage,
collect data, and determine the optimal process. To pass these courses, the students must
document their work plan indicating how the design was arrived at, comparison with alternate
strategies, and demonstrate the outcome supported by the collected data and their
interpretation. The goal is for at least 75% of the students to accomplish the assigned task with
minimal faculty assistance.
Documentation: The assessment document will contain various assignment statements, reports
of assignments and the percentage of students completing the assignments in an acceptable
manner and any other relevant documents.
(c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints
such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and
sustainability,
This outcome is assessed from courses having design projects. The designs/products developed
by the students are evaluated on the basis of consideration of various constraints as
mentioned above while meeting the desired objectives.
There may be a course on ethics in the curriculum where this assessment can be performed. If
there is no course on ethics, then students may acquire understanding of this by discussions in
other classes in the curriculum including design and project courses. Students may gain
experiences in ethics from co-curricular and extra-curricular and professional societies
activities.
Documentation: Results of course on ethics, survey report of employers, co-curricular and extracurricular and professional societies activities.
(g) an ability to communicate effectively,
There may be several courses in the curriculum of a program where this assessment can be performed.
Students may be asked to prepare a written report on a topic within the scope of the course and make oral
presentations before the class. The quality of the report and the oral presentation may be evaluated by the
teacher and classmates.
Documentation: Rubrics developed to assess this outcome and the assessment scores of both the teacher and the
peer for each student.
(h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context,
There may be some courses in the curriculum of a program where this assessment can be
performed. Students may be asked to prepare a paper demonstrating the impact of engineering
solutions on society, the economy and the environment. Almost in all curriculum in the final
semesters there are scopes for inclusion of this in the management related courses.
Documentation: Papers written by the students and the grades obtained.
(i)
Curriculum of a program need to be designed in such a way so that students may recognize the
need to continue to learn after they have graduated to maintain their expertise. They must be
encouraged to refer to professional journals, to attend professional conferences, to attend
company sponsored courses and seminars, to take courses towards an advanced degree and to
maintain membership of professional organizations.
Documentation: Copies of essay type assignments formulated to evaluate the above
mentioned outcome within the scope of courses of a curriculum, Survey report of the
employers, alumni.
social and political front. This also relates to contemporary technical issues
to engineering impact on society. Activities like debates, article writing,
participation in mock parliament / UNO / Security council increase the
involvement of students in contemporary issues related capabilities.
(k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering
practice.
This outcome is assessed from design courses, final year projects, laboratory
experiments where students have learnt techniques, skills and use of tools of todays
engineering practices.
Documentation: Problem statements of the various design projects, final year projects,
laboratory experiments, and grades obtained by students for successful completion.
Assessment
Assessment is one or more processes that identify, collect, and prepare data to evaluate the achievement of
program outcomes and program educational objectives.
Evaluation
Evaluation is one or more processes for interpreting the data and evidence accumulated through assessment
practices. Evaluation determines the extent to which program outcomes or program educational objectives are
being achieved and results in decisions and actions to improve the program.
There must be an assessment and evaluation process that periodically documents and demonstrates the degree to
which the program outcomes are attained.
