Graphic Era University (GEU) has been successfully granted the coveted A+ grade by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).
For those who do not know, NAAC is an autonomous institution of the University Grants Commission (UGC) that has been mandated with responsibility of making ‘quality’ an integral part of the functioning of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). It assesses HEIs on criterions like curricular aspects; teaching-learning and evaluation; research, innovations and extension; infrastructure and learning resources; institutional values and best practices, and more.
In 2015, the NAAC ‘A’ Accreditation had cemented GEU’s status as a premiere learning institution across the country as it had not only got highest grade in Uttarakhand but also in North India. However, the university had bigger goals and thus, immediately started the mission of further improvement.
The dedication and hard work started to bear fruit as the university won exemplary awards and accreditations in near future. In 2018, GEU was granted NBA Accreditation for Engineering programs. In 2020, it secured a place amongst the top 100 universities of India with All India NIRF Rank 97. In 2021, it got recognized in ‘Excellent’ band in Atal Ranking of Institutions on Innovation Achievement (ARIIA).
The most special recognition was garnered in 2022 when Graphic Era University became the only University in Uttarakhand to have NAAC A+ Accreditation & hold rank amongst the Top 100 in NIRF.
Underlining the importance of NAAC A+ Accreditation & expressing his delight over the achievement of the feat, Prof. Kamal Ghanshala, President, Graphic Era Group commented that NAAC A+ Accreditation is the stamp of trust that certifies that GEU meets all the standards of quality & excellence in higher education. “The upgradation of NAAC grade to A+ has improved university’s academic reputation and increased the expectation to maintain the legacy and contribute to nation building- tasks for which we are aptly prepared!”
He concluded by saying that the momentous milestone is the culmination of the consistent & integrated efforts of all the members of the University including the students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
