The frameworks an affiliated college answers to
NAAC
Assessed under the Affiliated/Constituent Colleges Manual — 56 metrics across the seven criteria — under the Binary framework since 10 February 2025.
AQAR
The yearly Annual Quality Assurance Report, due by 31 December, drafted from the same record as the SSR so the two never contradict each other.
NIRF
The College category ranks general-degree colleges on the five NIRF parameters, from the same faculty and student data.
The same data, asked for more than once
Each row is one set of facts your college already reports — in more than one place. In Master Data Map it is entered once.

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.
