Ahead of the NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) inspection scheduled for Gujarat University on January 28-30, the university is reportedly leaving no stone unturned to succeed. Among these efforts, they have ordered 400 tailored grey blazers for non-teaching staff.

As per reports, the vice chancellor of the university explained the blazer initiative, stating that the non-teaching staff had requested something special for them. Acting on their request, the university arranged for the blazers.

Additionally, the university conducted a faculty training programme on January 18 to gear up for the inspection.

The five-year validity of Gujarat University’s last NAAC accreditation ended in 2020. However, due to the pandemic and other factors, the university did not apply for a new accreditation cycle until now. Previously, the university was ranked B++ by NAAC.

Notably, for the past four years, Gujarat University has consistently been ranked among the top 100 in national rankings and has also performed well in state ratings by the Gujarat government. 

Achieving an A++ grade in the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) accreditation is now a critical goal for the university, and considerable efforts are being made towards this.

With many private and government universities in the state already earning A++ or A+ grades from NAAC, Gujarat University is aiming for the highest possible accreditation from the council.

Although the state’s largest and oldest government university frequently ranks among the top universities in India and globally, securing an A++ grade from NAAC has remained a challenge.

The NAAC inspection team is scheduled to visit Gujarat University after January 28. Given the university’s size, the team will consist of five to seven members, and the inspection will span three days, focusing on various evaluation criteria.
