80-parameter Administrative and Academic Audit
A diagnostic across governance, academics, research, infrastructure and student support, mapped to NAAC, NIRF, NBA and NEP requirements.
NAAC, NIRF, NBA & NEP AUDIT
Turn Accreditation and Rankings Into a System, Not a Scramble
Most institutions treat NAAC, NIRF and NBA as a fire drill. Departments scramble for data, evidence gets reconstructed after the fact and marks are lost because nobody was tracking the right things all along.
Paradigm's proprietary 80-parameter Administrative and Academic Audit builds accreditation and ranking readiness into how your institution runs year-round, not just before a submission deadline.
Built for decisions that hold up.
WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO
The work behind the outcome.
NAAC Binary Accreditation and MBGL readiness
Preparing the evidence base for the Accredited/Not Accredited model and five Maturity-Based Graded Levels.
NIRF data readiness and gap analysis
Parameter-wise review across Teaching, Research, Graduation Outcomes, Outreach and Perception.
NBA programme-level support
Criteria-wise preparation for engineering, management and technical programmes.
SSR drafting and DVV readiness
Self-Study Reports and evidence trails structured to withstand Data Validation and Verification scrutiny.
IQAC strengthening
Internal systems that keep your institution audit-ready continuously.
NEP 2020 compliance mapping
Aligning academic and administrative structures with national policy requirements.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Designed around your institution's next move.
- Institutions preparing for a first-time NAAC Binary Accreditation cycle.
- Previously accredited institutions transitioning into the MBGL framework.
- Universities and colleges whose NIRF ranking has stagnated or dropped despite genuine quality.
- Engineering, management or technical programmes pursuing or renewing NBA accreditation.
- IQAC teams that need a year-round readiness system instead of pre-submission panic.
THE CONTEXT
Why the Rules Just Changed
NAAC's accreditation system shifted in 2025 from CGPA grading to Binary Accreditation: Accredited or Not Accredited, based on objective, evidence-backed compliance. Beyond that, MBGL offers a five-level progression from basic compliance to global excellence in multidisciplinary research and education.
Accreditation is no longer a one-time hurdle. It is a continuous maturity journey, and institutions that build systems for it early are better positioned than those still preparing evidence the old way.

A roadmap from first conversation to meaningful progress.
Each stage resolves the next critical question and creates a practical path to implementation.
80-parameter diagnostic audit
A criteria-by-criteria and parameter-by-parameter assessment of where your institution stands.
Gap analysis and scoring simulation
Identifying exactly which metrics are costing marks and why.
Evidence and data systems
Setting up documentation, IQAC processes and data capture to substantiate every claim.
SSR and submission support
Drafting, evidence packaging and DVV-ready documentation.
Mock review and readiness check
Stress-testing the submission the way an assessor or AI-based evaluation system would.
Post-cycle improvement planning
Building systems that carry you into the next MBGL level or ranking cycle without starting from zero.
WHY INSTITUTIONS CHOOSE PARADIGM
Expertise that carries through every checkpoint.
Baseline-first approach - Every engagement opens with a gap analysis mapped to exact NAAC, NBA, NIRF and QS rubrics.
Milestone-driven delivery - Action plans are built backwards from submission deadlines with defined ownership.
Data integrity built in - Metrics are cross-validated across sources before visits or ranking submissions.
Deep practitioner expertise - Hands-on capability in SSR/SAR narratives, evidence packaging and assessor-level documentation standards.
Strategic rankings positioning - Quantitative benchmarking is paired with purposeful framing of institutional strengths.
Lasting institutional capability - Systems, formats and data practices serve every future cycle, not only the immediate one.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions, answered.
It is NAAC's revised assessment model, introduced in 2025, which replaces CGPA grades with an Accredited or Not Accredited outcome based on objective, evidence-backed compliance.
MBGL is an optional five-level progression after Binary Accreditation, from basic compliance to global excellence in multidisciplinary research and education.
It reviews governance, academics, research, infrastructure, student support and administrative systems, cross-mapped to NAAC, NIRF, NBA and NEP 2020.
NAAC assesses institutional quality for accreditation; NIRF is an annual ranking across Teaching, Research, Graduation Outcomes, Outreach and Perception. Many data points serve both.
Readiness should be year-round. We typically recommend a full diagnostic annually with lighter data reviews in between.
