NAAC’s New Reforms provides a clear and authoritative explanation of the transformational changes in India’s higher education accreditation system. Moving beyond grades and rankings, the book examines the shift to Binary Accreditation and Maturity-Based Graded Levels (MBGL), highlighting quality assurance as a continuous, inclusive, and developmental process. It explains the policy rationale, alignment with NEP 2020, and the practical implications for institutions at different stages of growth. Written in simple, accessible language, the book serves as a strategic guide for academicians, administrators, and policymakers seeking to understand accreditation not as compliance, but as a pathway to sustainable quality and excellence.
