The frameworks a law college answers to
NAAC
There is no separate legal manual: NLUs are assessed under the University Manual, and affiliated law colleges under the Affiliated Colleges Manual with 56 metrics across the seven criteria.
NIRF Law
Ranked on the five NIRF parameters — teaching and resources, research, graduation outcomes, outreach and perception — from the same faculty and student data.
BCI
The regulator. BCI approval under the Advocates Act, 1961 is mandatory to offer an LLB — our advisory team runs inspection readiness and Rules of Legal Education compliance.
Master Data Map keeps the data BCI asks for on the same record; BCI compliance itself is run by Edhitch’s advisory team alongside the platform.
The same data, asked for more than once

Frequently asked questions
Does NAAC have a separate manual for law colleges?
No. National Law Universities are assessed under NAAC’s University Manual, and affiliated law colleges under the Affiliated/Constituent Colleges Manual, which has 56 metrics across the seven criteria.
Does Master Data Map generate our BCI submissions?
Master Data Map keeps the faculty, library and student data the Bar Council of India checks on the same record it uses for NAAC and NIRF. BCI compliance itself — inspection readiness and Rules of Legal Education — is run by Edhitch’s advisory team alongside the platform.
Do law colleges need both BCI approval and NAAC?
BCI approval is mandatory regulatory recognition under the Advocates Act, 1961 for offering an LLB. NAAC is institutional quality assurance. Leading law colleges hold both, and much of the data overlaps.
