NAAC Accreditation: What May Be the Various Reasons for DVV Failure?
Institutions often face challenges during the NAAC accreditation process, especially during the DVV (Data Validation and Verification) stage. Below are the most common reasons why submissions may get rejected or flagged.
🔍 Key Reasons for DVV Failure
- 1. Unclear or Manipulated Documents: Documents must be authentic, clearly scanned, high-resolution, and unaltered. Any manipulation may be flagged as forgery by the verifying agency.
- 2. Data Mismatch: Ensure consistency across documents. For instance, don’t mention a placement percentage of 77.5% in one document and 87% in another.
- 3. Incorrect File Format or Size: Files must be uploaded in the accepted format and size as per NAAC’s technical requirements. Oversized or incompatible files may not upload properly.
- 4. Irrelevant Supporting Documents: Each uploaded file must directly relate to the specific metric it is being submitted for. Misalignment leads to rejection.
- 5. Incomplete Submissions: Avoid uploading half-scanned pages or cropped documents. Submit complete and edge-visible files.
- 6. Expired Documents: Use valid and up-to-date documents, especially when submitting IDs or certifications.
- 7. Edited or Photoshopped Content: Documents with signs of editing, overwriting, or photoshopping are red flags and may result in failure.
- 8. Lack of Verification: Run your documents through AI-powered verification tools and consult experts before final submission to reduce risk.
- 9. Ignoring Official Guidelines: Refer to NAAC's latest documentation and strictly follow their norms and instructions.
- 10. Using Outdated Evidence: Always use the most recent and relevant supporting data to maintain credibility and transparency.
