AQAR

NIRF
The College category ranks general-degree colleges on the five NIRF parameters, from the same faculty and student data.
AISHE

Frequently asked questions
Which NAAC manual applies to affiliated arts and science colleges?
The Affiliated/Constituent Colleges Manual. Its SSR has 56 metrics across the seven NAAC criteria — the same structure that applies to commerce, law and other general-discipline affiliated colleges.
Does Master Data Map prepare the AQAR as well as the SSR?
Yes. The AQAR is drafted from the same institutional record as the SSR, so the yearly report and the cycle-end self-study stay consistent — and each AQAR builds the evidence the next SSR needs.
Is Master Data Map only for large colleges?
No. It suits single-campus affiliated colleges as well as groups. Pricing is scoped to your institution — request a demo for a quote.
Does Master Data Map handle AISHE and NEP 2020 compliance for affiliated colleges?
Yes. Master Data Map fills the AISHE Data Capture Format from the same record as the AQAR and NIRF, and tracks NEP 2020 compliance — four-year UG credits, exits, Academic Bank of Credits uploads and APAAR IDs — so the evidence is ready when NAAC asks for it. NEP 2020 compliance checklist.
