NAAC Evidence–Outcome Alignment Audit

An independent audit to evaluate whether institutional evidence actually demonstrates the outcomes expected by NAAC — or merely describes activities without measurable impact.

Direct answer:
A NAAC evidence–outcome alignment audit checks whether submitted evidence convincingly proves outcomes, impact, and quality as interpreted by NAAC evaluators.

Why NAAC evidence often fails to convince

Evidence describes activities but not outcomes
Documents exist but lack relevance to the metric intent
Claims are qualitative without verifiable indicators
Impact is assumed rather than demonstrated
DVV reviewers cannot trace evidence to assertions

What this audit evaluates

Alignment between metric requirements and submitted evidence
Outcome-orientation of qualitative and quantitative metrics
Traceability between claims, data, and documents
Risk of evidence rejection during DVV or peer review
