The New Education Policy of 1986 had recognized the need for a statutory Body at the National level responsible for overseeing the growth and quality of Technical Education in the country. Accordingly the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) was established by an Act of Parliament (AICTE Act No. 52 of 1987) in 1987. As a part of its programmes and activities, the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) was set up by the AICTE in September 1994, for the purpose of assessment of Quality and Accreditation of Technical programmes in India The NBA is also concerned with assessing and assuring the quality of the various constituent elements of the Technical Institutions, such as academic ambience, infrastructure, financial resources, physical resources, human resources, supporting systems like library resources, computational resources, and avenues to mould and develop the students� personality and learning characteristics.
