Abstract:

The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) is a key organization responsible for assessing and accrediting colleges and universities across India. Its role is essential in maintaining and improving the quality of education, enhancing the reputation of institutions, and ensuring better academic standards. Accreditation helps institutions grow by encouraging them to adopt best practices, improve infrastructure, and offer high-quality education to students. This study explores how NAAC accreditation influences the reputation of institutions and academic standards in affiliated colleges in Haryana. A total of 220 respondents participated in this study, sharing their views on how accreditation affects their academic experiences. The findings indicate that accreditation plays a significant role in shaping institutional reputation and strengthening academic performance. It encourages institutions to focus on student learning and career readiness. The study provides useful insights to understand the broader impact of accreditation and how it can contribute to continuous improvement in higher education.
