Achieve NAAC accreditation success with UpToDate

India’s evolving accreditation landscape demands that medical universities adapt strategically to the new NAAC RAF model to protect their reputation and lead in medical education.

The landscape for medical universities in India is evolving rapidly. With the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) transitioning to the Revised Accreditation Framework (RAF) in 2025, achieving accreditation is more complex and strategic than ever. For university deans, medical faculty, and students, adapting to the new Binary Accreditation model is paramount—not only to maintain institutional reputation but also to position your campus as a leader in medical education.

Understanding the updated NAAC framework

The revised NAAC framework puts a renewed focus on:

  • Outcome-based curriculum design
  • Faculty development and retention
  • Research and innovation
  • Sustainability practices
  • Quality governance

Institutions are now evaluated for their holistic contributions—from academic excellence and faculty advancement to eco-friendly operations and community impact.
