The validity of the NAAC accreditation for the College for the third cycle has been extended by NAAC from 15 September 2016 to 15 September 2018.
This was due to the change in criteria effected by NAAC: all Colleges which had the highest grade in the first three cycles of accreditation, could opt for an extension of validity for seven years, instead of the regular 5 years. The College is now due for re-accreditation (fourth cycle) in Septemeber 2018.
