NMIMS University paves road for Global Accreditation of B-Schools

The International Workshop on Accreditation will be inaugurated on 3rd March by Dr Bhalchandra Mungekar, Member, Planning Commission and the Guest of Honour will be Prof Sukhdev Thorat, Chairman, University Grants Commission. The two days are slated for discussions and debates on accreditation by international and national speakers and also the sharing of experiences of accreditation by deans and directors of various B-schools like ISB, MDI, ICFAI, IMT and SIESCOM. The concluding session of the workshop will be an interactive session of the participants with the accreditation agencies.

Why is Accreditation important?

With over 1500 B-schools in the country, each school tries to create strong competitive differences to attract the best of talents in students, faculty and corporate. Accreditation is one such benchmarking measure that has helped several schools in competing on a level playing field. National accreditation agencies such as NBA of the AICTE and NAAC of the University Grants Commission have been trying to assess schools on parameters such as curriculum, teaching, research and consultancy, infrastructure, student progress, governance and innovation.

Besides the national accreditation bodies, global accreditation is a new buzzword among management schools today. In addition to providing a stamp of approval on an institution’s systems and processes, it also provides mobility for students and teachers in a global international arena. To be considered in an international forum, global accreditation is today becoming a much required benchmark.
