Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Data Validation and

Verification of Affiliated Colleges Manual

A: General Guidelines for HEIs:
Note: Relevant original documents signed by the concerned authorities, and/or members of the committee should be scanned and
uploaded. Insertion of signature(s) and insertion of the header of the Institutional letterhead in the documents for proof of evidence shall
not be acceptable.
 The NAAC HEI Portal supports only 5MB data for each metric. If the attachments exceed 5MB, the HEI should host the
supporting documents on the HEI‟s website and provide the link of the same in the template and/or in the HEI-DVV
clarification response.
 Data/supporting documents should not be provided on Google Drive, Microsoft one drive, Amazon Cloud or any third-party
websites. Any such uploads will not be considered for the data validation and verification process.
 While providing the links of the HEI‟s website where the supporting documents are hosted, the institution should provide the
link in the HEI‟s clarification box. While providing the links in the running text, to enable the hyperlink, press “Enter Key”,
then paste the link, and again press, “Enter Key”. Provide the relevant supporting documents as per the SOP during the SSR
submission to facilitate speedy DVV clarification process.
 It is mandatory to fill the templates in the specific formats provided by NAAC. The HEI is not supposed to alter the template
format in which the data is sought. The documents uploaded should be clearly readable for the claims made.
 It is mandatory to respond to all clarifications raised by the DVV for the items in the extended profile and metrics, within the
stipulated time.
 Whenever the data is voluminous, the DVV Partner will seek for details from selected sample documents for validation. Before
submitting the clarification responses to the DVV, the institution should report to NAAC.
 Once the data is uploaded and the links are submitted to the NAAC, changes/ additions are not permissible and such changes in
the documents (if any) will be tracked and viewed seriously, which may lead to actions against the HEI. While providing links,
The list of the documents is only suggestive. If the Institution has any other relevant documents besides those mentioned by NAAC, the same may be uploaded Page 1
 the institution should ensure that links are operational.
 The institution should give the links as appropriate to the metric and not general links whose landing page is the HEI‟s home
page. In case the links do not work during the DVV validation/clarification stage, the decision of NAAC will be final.
 Content of the supporting documents in regional languages should be translated to English and should be duly signed by the
Head of the Institution. The translated copy should be uploaded along with the original regional language document.
 All supporting documents submitted along with the SSR and additional documents submitted during the DVV clarification
process should be duly endorsed by the competent authority.
To reduce the enormous use of paper and printing the entire data, sign and a seal by the Competent Authority
for all the papers, the Digital Signature will be accepted by NAAC in filling of SSR. Higher Education Institutions
(HEIs) can use the Class-3 Digital signatures (Means Digital Signature Class-3 is the highest level of DSC where a
Registration Authority verifies the identity of a person) of the head of the institution to authenticate and upload
a large number of documents in the SSR.

The list of the documents is only suggestive. If the Institution has any other relevant documents besides those mentioned by NAAC, the same may be uploaded Page 2
B: Guidelines for specific operations:
Geo-tagging: Kindly follow the following steps to obtain a Geo-tagged photo:
(1) While setting your digital camera, set the location on.
(2) If you are taking photos using a smart phone, then set the location on.
(3) Take pictures only after setting the „location on‟ mode.
(4) Download the pictures on to a computer system and examine the properties. In properties, click on the details tab, scroll down to
see GPS: you will see a picture as shown below, the value entries for latitude and longitude will determine the location where
the photo is taken.

 It is possible that both, the Extended Profile and some Quantitative Metrics (QnM) seek responses that require similar
data/documents. In such cases, it is adequate to present data/documents in the Extended Profile. That is, if the
data/documents sought are given in response to the Extended Profile they need not be repeated under those specific
Quantitative Metrics (QnM) of the SSR.

The list of the documents is only suggestive. If the Institution has any other relevant documents besides those mentioned by NAAC, the same may be uploaded Page 3
  Whenever both Extended Profile and some Quantitative Metrics (QnM) seek similar responses, make sure that data/documents
are provided for those Quantitative Metrics (QnM) which match with the corresponding data/documents given in the Extended
Profile.
 Any other clarifications may be sought from the NAAC, by the HEIs

 Programme: A range of learning experiences offered to students in a formal manner over a period not less than one year
leading to UG Degree / PG Degree / PG Diploma. All possible formal Degree Programmes are defined/identified by the
UGC. Examples: BA (Economics, History, Sociology), B.Sc., (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics), B.Sc., (Hons Chemistry),
BE/B.Tech (Computer Science and Engineering), B.Arch, MSc (Mathematics), M.Com, M.A(English), ME/M.Tech (Textile
Technology), PG Diploma (Library Science) and so on etc.,
 Course: A course is a paper/subject with specified number of credits/hours in a formal program. Examples: Organic Chemistry,
Real Analysis, Solid State Physics, Indian History, Macro Economics, English, Hindi, Marathi, Telugu etc are courses under
BSc/BA/B.Com Programs. A laboratory course having separate credits and examined separately is to be considered as a course.
 Gender Equity: Gender equity means fairness of treatment for women and men, according to their respective needs. This may
include equal treatment or treatment that is different, but which is considered equivalent in terms of rights, benefits, obligations,
and opportunities.
