Which Edhitch software is right for you?
The right product depends on scale and framework focus. (1) Individual faculty or small department needing CO-PO attainment calculation only → CO-PO Pro. (2) Department-level OBE with multiple courses and faculty → CO-PO Mapping Software. (3) Programme-level NBA accreditation under GAPC v4.0 with full OBE lifecycle (mapping, attainment, gap analysis, CQI, SAR documentation) → OBE Software. (4) Institutional unified platform handling NAAC + NBA + NIRF together with cross-framework data architecture → Accreditation Management Software. The four products form a natural upgrade pathway as institutional maturity and scope expand — with shared data architecture so no migration is needed.
The architectural advantage: Unlike vendors who sell separate tools that don’t talk to each other, Edhitch’s 4 products share one data architecture. A faculty using CO-PO Pro generates data that flows directly into a department CO-PO Mapping deployment. Department data flows into programme OBE Software. OBE data flows into institutional Accreditation Management Software. No re-implementation, no data migration, no rework as you scale.

Decision guide: 5 questions to pick the right product
Work through these 5 questions in order. The first “yes” identifies your starting point. You can always upgrade later — the data carries forward.
5-question decision flow
1. Do you need cross-framework (NAAC + NBA + NIRF) institutional architecture?
If YES — You need Accreditation Management Software. The institutional tier handles unified data architecture across all three frameworks with the 68% data overlap leveraged.
2. Are you preparing or maintaining NBA accreditation for an engineering, pharmacy, management, architecture, or other accreditable programme?
If YES (and not already at Q1) — You need OBE Software. The programme-level tier handles the full NBA GAPC v4.0 lifecycle including SAR 2025 documentation.
3. Is your scope department-level OBE with multiple courses and faculty — not yet full NBA SAR preparation?
If YES — You need CO-PO Mapping Software. The department-level tier handles CO-PO-PSO mapping at scale without programme-level SAR overhead.
4. Are you an individual faculty or small department needing CO-PO attainment calculation only?
If YES — You need CO-PO Pro. The individual tier handles course-level CO-PO attainment and Bloom Taxonomy mapping for individual users.
5. Are you specifically managing NAAC accreditation (Binary + MBGL framework) at institutional scale?
If YES — You need Accreditation Management Software for unified NAAC + NBA + NIRF, or the dedicated NAAC SSR & AQAR Software if your focus is exclusively NAAC.
The pattern most institutions follow: Start at Tier 1 (CO-PO Pro) with a few faculty pilots → expand to Tier 2 (CO-PO Mapping) at department scale → move to Tier 3 (OBE Software) when NBA preparation begins → consolidate to Tier 4 (Accreditation Management) when the institution unifies accreditation strategy. Each step preserves the data from the previous step.

The upgrade pathway
The 4 products are designed as a natural progression. Data architecture is shared — no migration required when you upgrade. Most institutions follow this pathway as scope expands:
From individual faculty to institutional architecture
Faculty data flows into department platform → department data flows into programme platform → programme data flows into institutional platform. One architecture across all four tiers.
Why the upgrade pathway matters: Most vendors sell isolated tools. You buy CO-PO software from one company, NBA SAR software from another, NAAC software from a third. Each requires separate implementation, separate data, separate training. Edhitch’s integrated architecture eliminates that friction — pay-as-you-scale rather than rebuild-each-time.
Frequently asked questions
Which Edhitch software is right for my institution?
The right Edhitch software depends on scale and framework focus. (1) Individual faculty or small department needing CO-PO attainment calculation only — choose CO-PO Pro. (2) Department-level or single programme implementation of OBE with multiple courses and faculty — choose CO-PO Mapping Software. (3) Programme-level NBA accreditation under GAPC v4.0 with full OBE lifecycle (CO-PO mapping, attainment, gap analysis, CQI, SAR documentation) — choose Outcome-Based Education Software. (4) Institutional unified platform handling NAAC, NBA, and NIRF together with cross-framework data architecture — choose Accreditation Management Software. The four products form a natural upgrade pathway as institutional maturity and scope expand.
What is CO-PO Pro?
CO-PO Pro is Edhitch’s individual faculty subscription for CO-PO attainment calculation under NBA GAPC v4.0. Designed for course coordinators and individual faculty who need to calculate Course Outcome attainment, Program Outcome mapping, and Bloom Taxonomy alignment for their courses. CO-PO Pro is the entry-level product in the Edhitch software family, sized for individual or small-scope usage. Output integrates with department-level platforms when institutions later expand to CO-PO Mapping Software or OBE Software. See the CO-PO Pro product page for full details.
What is CO-PO Mapping Software?
CO-PO Mapping Software is Edhitch’s department-level OBE enterprise platform. Designed for departments and programmes implementing CO-PO-PSO mapping at scale across multiple courses, faculty, and academic cycles. Includes Bloom Taxonomy integration, direct and indirect attainment calculation per NBA 80/20 standard, gap analysis, and CO-PO mapping documentation. Targets the natural department-level scope between individual faculty (CO-PO Pro) and programme-level OBE (OBE Software). Suits institutions running OBE at one or two department scales without yet needing programme-level SAR documentation. See the CO-PO Mapping Software product page.
What is Outcome-Based Education Software?
Outcome-Based Education (OBE) Software is Edhitch’s programme-level OBE platform built for NBA accreditation under GAPC v4.0 (operative for Tier-I autonomous from 1 January 2025, Tier-II affiliated transitioning by June 2025). Includes the full OBE lifecycle: 11 Programme Outcomes structure with PO5 Engineering Tool Usage rename, CO-PO-PSO mapping with Bloom Taxonomy, direct and indirect attainment per NBA 80/20 standard, gap analysis and root cause identification, Continuous Quality Improvement and Action Taken Reports under SAR 2025 Criterion 7, and complete SAR documentation. Suits programmes preparing or maintaining NBA accreditation. See the OBE Software product page.
What is Accreditation Management Software?
Accreditation Management Software is Edhitch’s institutional unified platform handling NAAC, NBA, and NIRF together from a single data architecture. Leverages the 68% cross-framework data overlap by maintaining institutional data once and feeding NAAC AQAR, NBA SAR, and NIRF submissions from the unified source. Aligned with NAAC Binary + MBGL framework operative since 10 February 2025, NBA GAPC v4.0, and NIRF parameter optimization including 2025 retraction negative marking. Suits institutions at the senior leadership level managing multi-framework accreditation strategy. The top tier of the Edhitch software family. See the Accreditation Management product page.
Can I upgrade between Edhitch software products?
Yes. The four Edhitch products form a natural upgrade pathway: CO-PO Pro → CO-PO Mapping Software → Outcome-Based Education Software → Accreditation Management Software. Data architecture is consistent across products, so upgrading doesn’t require data migration or rework. Faculty using CO-PO Pro can have their data flow into a department CO-PO Mapping deployment when the institution expands. Department-level CO-PO Mapping data flows into programme-level OBE Software when NBA preparation begins. Programme OBE Software data flows into Accreditation Management Software when the institution moves to unified NAAC + NBA + NIRF architecture. Continuity across products is a core design principle.
How is pricing structured across Edhitch products?
Pricing scales with product scope. CO-PO Pro uses individual subscription pricing. CO-PO Mapping Software uses department-level enterprise licensing. OBE Software uses programme-level institutional licensing. Accreditation Management Software uses institutional-level licensing with NAAC + NBA + NIRF coverage. Specific pricing is available through the Edhitch advisory team based on institutional scope, number of departments and programmes, accreditation framework focus, and any cross-product upgrade considerations. Contact info@edhitch.com or WhatsApp +91-9205119385 for institutional pricing.
Which software supports NAAC Binary + MBGL framework?
All Edhitch software products support the NAAC Binary + MBGL framework operative since 10 February 2025, but at different scope levels. CO-PO Pro and CO-PO Mapping Software produce data feeds for NAAC AQAR Criterion 2 (Teaching-Learning) without being NAAC-focused themselves. OBE Software feeds NAAC AQAR Criteria 2 and 3 (Teaching-Learning and Research). Accreditation Management Software handles full NAAC AQAR documentation for all 7 criteria, MBGL Level targeting, and Binary + MBGL application support directly. For institutions whose primary need is NAAC accreditation work, Accreditation Management Software is the most direct fit. Also see the dedicated NAAC SSR & AQAR Software for NAAC-specific deployments.
