NEW NAAC CRITERIA 1: ENSURE SECURE ASPECTS

To fulfill NAAC Criterion I, which is Curricular Aspects, institutions must:

1. Ensure that the curricula are relevant to the local, national, regional, and global developmental needs. This can be done by aligning the Programme Outcomes (POs), Programme Specific Outcomes (PSOs), and Course Outcomes (COs) with the needs of the stakeholders, including students, employers, and society as a whole.
2. Provide academic flexibility to the students. This can be done by offering various elective courses, allowing students to choose their minors and specializations, and providing opportunities for internships and other experiential learning activities.
3. Enrich the curriculum with cross-cutting issues relevant to Professional Ethics, Gender, Human Values, Environment, and Sustainability. This can be done by integrating these issues into the existing courses, offering dedicated courses on these topics, or organizing workshops and seminars.
4. Have a system to obtain feedback on the syllabus and its transaction from stakeholders. This feedback can be used to improve the curriculum regularly.
5. Revolutionize Your Classroom with E-Learning

Here are some specific tips for fulfilling each of the four Key Indicators (KIs) under NAAC Criterion I:

WHAT IS THE BLOOM’S TAXONOMY? NEW TIPS TEACHING LEARNING METHODS

The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) revised its accreditation framework in recent years, emphasizing an outcomes-based assessment process aligned with global practices. Here’s an overview of Criteria 1: Curricular Aspects under the updated NAAC framework:

Criteria 1: Curricular Aspects

This criterion focuses on the design, development, and implementation of curricula to ensure alignment with institutional goals, national priorities, and global trends.

Key Indicators:

1. Curriculum Design and Development
   • Institutions are assessed based on the relevance of their curricula to local, national, and global needs.
   • Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary approaches, employability, innovation, and societal relevance.
   • Stakeholder involvement (students, faculty, alumni, employers) in curriculum development is evaluated.
2. Academic Flexibility
   • Availability of elective courses, credit transfer systems, and flexible curricula that cater to diverse learner needs.
   • Introduction of new courses/programs to address emerging areas.
3. Curriculum Enrichment
   • Integration of cross-cutting issues like gender, environment, sustainability, ethics, and human values into the curriculum.
   • Inclusion of value-added courses, field projects, and internships.
4. Feedback System
   • Mechanisms for collecting and analyzing feedback from stakeholders on curriculum design and delivery.
   • Evidence of actions taken based on feedback to improve curricular aspects.

Key Documentation Requirements:

• Curriculum Structure: Detailed syllabi, program structures, and course outcomes.
• Feedback Analysis Reports: Data on stakeholder feedback and implemented changes.
• Innovative Practices: Evidence of interdisciplinary programs, skill development initiatives, or community-oriented courses.
• Outcome Evidence: Metrics demonstrating the impact of the curriculum on student success, employability, or societal impact.
