In the earlier system of NAAC, colleges, institutes and universities were evaluated based on the four-point grading system that included A (very good), B (good), C (satisfactory), D (unsatisfactory).

However, in the new system, CGPA points are given to each college based on a seven-point scale, described as follows:

  • A++ (3.76 to 4.00 CGPA)
  • A+ (3.51 - 3.75 CGPA)
  • A (3.01 - 3.50)
  • B++ (2.76 - 3.00 CGPA)
  • B+ (2.51 - 2.75 CGPA)
  • B (2.51 - 2.75 CGPA)
  • C (1.51 - 2.00 CGPA)

Any institute getting a CGPA score equal to or below 1.50 will be marked as ‘not accredited’.

The evaluation takes into account parameters like infrastructure, faculty, placements, examination system etc.
