Abstract
Accreditation can be referred to as the procedure followed for official recognition or quality assurance. It provides the opportunity of promoting excellence in the field of education. It can be stated as the process in which the quality of an educational institution or a particular educational programme is evaluated so as to formally recognize it if it meets certain standards. As per the exponential growth in the number of engineering colleges in India, the process of accreditation is becoming a necessity in order to maintain the standard of education in the engineering institutes.
