We are highly indebted to NAAC Peer Team for examining our system and validating our claims about our robust health in our first accreditation and assessment for which we have been awarded B++ grade in the year 2007. While the approval and appreciation of NAAC Peer team fortified our resolve to touch greater heights in all areas of education, their fruitful suggestions have helped us to overcome the shortcomings as reported. We tried our level best to implement the suggestions as directed by the NAAC Peer Team. This is a matter of great satisfaction that the teaching, non-teaching staff, students and the administration have been working as a team with an excellent level of understanding and missionary zeal which will undoubtedly prove a great boon for this institution to grow from strength to strength in its pursuit of knowledge and excellence. Our institute has done a commendable job in the field of infrastructure, research and all round development of the students with social commitment through extension activities. Constant self-appraisal ensures that most of the lacunae are rectified which goes a long way to strengthen the core values of higher education which we strive for. A committee has been constituted to complete the report. The committee has prepared the report through group discussions with its members and regular interactions with the Principal and the entire campus community. The report has been finalized with utmost sincerity, honesty and collective effort of the faculty members which is now being submitted to the NAAC for re-accreditation of 2nd cycle.
