The short answer

The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) accredits colleges and universities based on quality parameters. NAAC has been moving from its older grading system to a revised framework with binary accreditation and maturity-based levels. Institutions register, submit data and self-study reports, undergo verification and peer assessment, and receive accreditation for a fixed period.
