City univ set for 1st NAAC assessment

Bhubaneswar: Rama Devi Women’s University is set for its first-ever assessment by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). A NAAC peer team arrived on campus Tuesday, with the evaluation scheduled to begin on Wednesday.
The team’s primary mission is to assess and evaluate the qualitative metrics outlined in the self study report (SSR), which was submitted to NAAC by the university on Feb 2 of this year.The accreditation process began with the submission of the institutional information for quality assessment (IIQA) report on Oct 6 of last year. After the assessment is complete, the varsity will receive a NAAC grade.
“It is our first cycle of accreditation. Out of our assessment years (2018-23), Covid was there for around two years. What we have accomplished now is the result of three and a half years of hard work. We hope for a good NAAC grade,” said Aparajita Chowdhury, vice-chancellor of the university.
The institution is the first women’s university in the state and was established in 1964.
