JNU & Amity universities have the same grades but can you claim that both universities are at par in any manner? How does the NAAC envision developing / evolving a student into a sensible human being & wellbeing of society? 3. Does NAAC certified Quality education mean that the future of humanity will be safe & secure?? 4. Is NAAC trying o regimentizing all the institutions by its rigid quality parameters and isn’t its evaluation system getting costlier day by day? 5. Do you feel that there is a huge gap between ground realities and NAAC evaluation system? Dr. CK Jha Head, PG Dept of Sanskrit, MPN College conducted the question answer session.
