NAAC software is a platform that helps higher education institutions in India prepare for, submit, and maintain National Assessment and Accreditation Council accreditation. As of February 2025, NAAC operates under the new Binary Accreditation Framework and optional Maturity-Based Graded Levels (MBGL) framework, replacing the legacy CGPA-based grading system. Modern NAAC software must support Binary YES/NO evidence workflows, MBGL Levels 1-5 readiness tracking, AQAR automation, and Data Capture Formats 2025.
Why NAAC accreditation breaks most institutions
NAAC preparation is consistently ranked among the most time-intensive institutional projects in Indian higher education. The reasons are structural, not effort-related.
Common NAAC pain points
- 600+ hours typically spent on manual SSR drafting per cycle
- Last-minute documentation chaos in the final 30-60 days
- Uncertainty about how Binary YES/NO evidence will be evaluated
- Inconsistencies surfaced between AQAR, SSR, and the institutional website
- Post-accreditation compliance collapse — no year-round system
- IQAC teams stretched across multiple frameworks with no shared data
How Binary NAAC Pro solves them
- AI-assisted SSR drafting cuts manual effort by 50-70%
- Year-round evidence collection eliminates the final-month scramble
- Built-in DCF 2025 templates align responses to current methodology
- Cross-validation flags inconsistencies before NAAC's automated checks do
- Continuous AQAR data flow eliminates yearly compilation
- Shared institutional data feeds NBA SAR and NIRF submission too

How AI-assisted SSR generation works
- Upload existing institutional data — previous SSRs, AQARs, audit reports, faculty records, research data, infrastructure documents
- AI extracts and structures the data against DCF 2025 templates and the seven criteria
- Gap analysis surfaces weak areas — missing evidence, inconsistencies, weak narratives
- Suggested optimised structure with metric-specific scoring guidance
- Expert review by Edhitch team for institutions on the integrated package
- Final SSR submission package with linked evidence and DVV-defensible audit trail
Legacy data? Yes — the system converts SSR and AQAR documents from previous cycles (CGPA-era RAF format) into structured data aligned to the current Binary + MBGL framework.
Frequently asked questions
Is Edhitch's NAAC software updated for the 2025 Binary and MBGL framework?
Yes. NAAC announced the Binary Accreditation Framework and Maturity-Based Graded Levels on February 10, 2025, replacing the legacy CGPA grading system. Edhitch's Binary NAAC Pro is aligned to Data Capture Formats 2025 and supports both Binary entry-level accreditation and MBGL Levels 1 through 5 progression.
What is the difference between Binary NAAC and the legacy CGPA grades?
The legacy CGPA grading scale (A++ to C) is being phased out. The new Binary Accreditation Framework returns a simple Accredited or Not Accredited outcome based on YES/NO responses backed by digital evidence. Institutions can then optionally pursue MBGL Levels 1 to 5, which assess institutional maturity from Basic Compliance to Global Excellence. Institutions in Cycle 2 and above under the Revised Accreditation Framework retain their existing grades during the transition.
What does Edhitch's NAAC software do?
Edhitch's Binary NAAC Pro automates the complete NAAC workflow: AI-assisted SSR draft generation aligned to DCF 2025, evidence vault with criterion-wise tagging, AQAR yearly submission, MBGL readiness tracking with RAG status across the seven criteria, and cross-validation against AISHE, UGC, and NIRF data to surface inconsistencies before NAAC's automated checks do.
Can Edhitch software handle AQAR submissions?
Yes. AQAR (Annual Quality Assurance Report) is a mandatory yearly filing for all NAAC-accredited institutions. Binary NAAC Pro generates AQAR drafts from your continuously updated institutional data, eliminating the year-end scramble of compiling annual reports from scratch.
Who should use NAAC software?
NAAC software is used by IQAC Coordinators, accreditation teams, Department Heads, Principals, and Vice-Chancellors at universities, autonomous colleges, and affiliated colleges in India. It is built for institutions preparing for first-time accreditation under the Binary framework, institutions in Cycle 2 or above transitioning from RAF, and institutions pursuing MBGL Level progression.
Does Edhitch offer NAAC consulting alongside software?
Yes. Edhitch offers an integrated NAAC Accelerator Program that combines software with mentorship: Phase 1 quantitative and qualitative gap analysis, Phase 2 AI-assisted SSR/AQAR drafting with expert review, and Phase 3 mock peer interaction and submission readiness training. Software-only and software-plus-consulting models are both available.
How long does NAAC SSR preparation take with the software?
Manual SSR preparation typically takes 6 to 9 months of disciplined data work. With Binary NAAC Pro and Edhitch's mentorship, institutions with reasonably maintained data can prepare SSR in 2 to 3 months. Institutions with significant data gaps require longer, but the software accelerates the gap-closing work itself.
Is the data secure?
Yes. Edhitch follows ISO 27001 information security practices. Institutional data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with role-based access controls and full audit trails. The platform is hosted on AWS infrastructure in India.
