TheNational Board of Accreditation (NBA) is one of the two major bodies responsible foraccreditation ofhigher education institutions inIndia, along with theNational Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).[1] NBA accredits technical programmes, such as engineering and management programmes, while NAAC accredits general colleges and universities.[2] NBA is a full member of theWashington Accord.
NBA was established by theAll India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) in 1994 and has operated as an autonomous body since 2010.[3] In 2014 it was granted a full membership status in the Washington Accord.[4]
The NBA accredits programmes rather than institutions. These includediplomas,undergraduate andpostgraduate programs. Accredited fields include engineering & technology, management, pharmacy, architecture, applied arts and crafts, computer applications and hospitality and tourism management.[5]
While accreditation is voluntary, in 2017 the AICTE announced that it will not provide approval for institutes which failed to accredit at least half of their programs.[6]
