Abstract:
The NAAC accreditation was established by the Indian government to evaluate the calibre of higher education establishments. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council assigned grades such as A++, A+, A, B++, B+, B, C, and D, and established the quality standards for universities and other higher education institutions. According to data from the NAAC website, 248 higher education institutions received A++ accreditation between July 1, 2017, and April 10, 2024. This paper examines the pedagogical practices of select universities that hold an NAAC A++ rating. The NAAC assessment is based on seven criteria, of which the current study addresses the Teaching-Learning Process, also known as Pedagogical Practices, which falls under Criteria 2, i.e., Teaching, Learning, and Evaluation. Employing dimensions, which include Students Centric Pedagogical Practices (SCPP), Technology Enabled Pedagogical Practices (TEPP), Research Oriented Pedagogical Practices (ROPP), and Innovations/Best Practices in Pedagogical Process (I/BPP), the investigator carried out a critical analysis of the Pedagogical Practices at 10 NAAC A++ accredited universities. Amidst differences, there is a consistent dedication to promoting learners' comprehensive development through student-centred, technology-enabled, research-focused, and innovative teaching approaches.
