NAAC gives A+ grading to IIIT Bangalore

The institute has been awarded A+ grade with a CGPA of 3.37 for excellence across seven performance indicators. 

The International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIITB) has been awarded an A+ grade with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.37 by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). IIITB has improved its previous CGPA score from 3.08 to 3.37. This is the second cycle of NAAC accreditation for the institute.  

NAAC’s A+ grade serves as a very good performance’ indicator and certifies IIITB for excellence across seven parameters. This includes teaching-learning and evaluation; curricular aspect; infrastructure and learning resources; governance, leadership and management; research, innovation and extension; student support and progression; and institutional values and best practices. 

Debabrata Das, Director, IIITB, said, “The A+ grade accorded by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council is a reaffirmation of the institute’s enduring commitment to all-round excellence in quality teaching and research, governance, leadership, cutting edge curriculum and innovation. The overall team effort to ensure affirmative student support and learning backed by robust institutional values and best practices has resulted in this superlative performance.” 

IIITB has set up a functional Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) to improve academic and research quality, following the institute’s first accreditation cycle in May 2014, where the institute received an A grade with a 3.08 CGPA. IIITB houses several Centers of Excellence (CoE) such as E-Health Research Center (EHRC), Machine Intelligence and Robotics Center (MINRO), Center for Information Technology and Public Policy (CITAPP), Cognitive Computing Centre of Excellence, and Innovation Center for students as well as faculty.
