The integrated preparation programme: be ready to apply the day the new NAAC process opens, with NBA and NIRF running on the same data
NAAC announced its reformed accreditation framework in February 2025, and institutions are waiting for the new process to open. Waiting is the riskier choice. This preparation programme puts your data, evidence and plan in order now, so you can apply as and when NAAC opens, while NBA and NIRF run on the same master data.
NAAC Grade Expiring? Your 2026–27 Transition Plan Across NAAC, NBA and NIRF is a five-evening integrated preparation programme by Edhitch, run live online from 14 to 18 December 2026, Monday to Friday, 7–9 PM IST. Principals, Deans and IQAC Heads build one master data plan so their institution is ready to apply as and when the new NAAC process opens, with NBA and NIRF running on the same data. The fee is ₹2,499 + GST.
If your NAAC accreditation is due for renewal in 2027 or 2028, your runway may be shorter than it looks once the new process opens. The institutions that move first will be the ones whose data and evidence are already verified, owned and consistent with their AISHE returns.
This is a preparation programme, not training on NAAC's assessment framework. We do not teach or interpret NAAC's manuals or rubrics, and we make no claims about criteria that have not been published. We prepare what every pathway will need, using Edhitch's finding that 68% of institutional data feeds NAAC, NBA and NIRF alike. Build it once, and it serves all three.
Before you join: No prior accreditation experience needed. Useful for institutions with NAAC renewal due, teams starting a cycle, or anyone taking over an IQAC.
Every session is a working session. You bring your institution's data, and each evening ends with something you can use the next morning.
What NAAC's public notices confirm, what is still awaited, and what your renewal date means. The NBA and NIRF cycles that run alongside.
How NAAC, NBA and NIRF draw on the same underlying data, and where they differ. Mapping your data owners and sources.
Building evidence chains that hold up under data validation. Keeping AISHE returns, AQARs and institutional records consistent.
Criterion alignment for NBA and parameter logic for NIRF, fed from the master data map rather than rebuilt each time.
A backward calendar with owners, a pre-application checklist and board reporting, so the institution can apply as soon as the new NAAC process opens.
Everything is built on your own data during the sessions, so it is ready to use when the programme ends.
Past participants join at the level that matches the work they have already done. Tell us which programme you attended when you register, and our facilitators will know where you are starting from.
A suggested path through the series
Start at Core to set up the data and plan, move to Applied to build evidence on your own data, and take Advanced programmes when you are working on a live submission or a global ranking. One programme runs each month.

No. It is a preparation programme. We work from NAAC's published notices and other public information, and we do not teach or interpret NAAC's manuals or rubrics. We prepare your data, evidence and plan so you can apply as and when the new process opens.
Do not wait for every detail of the new process. Put institutional data, evidence and AISHE consistency in order now, so the institution can apply as soon as the applicable process opens. Follow naac.gov.in for official notices on transition rules.
NAAC announced its reformed accreditation framework in February 2025. Institutions should follow official NAAC notices for rollout and transition details.
Edhitch's published analysis found that 68% of institutional data feeds all three. Maintaining that data once, with clear owners, reduces duplicated work and conflicting numbers across submissions.
