The system evaluates the three dimensions: i) level of awareness of accreditation, (ii) perceived benefits of accreditation, and (iii) the perceived relationship between accreditation grades and educational quality. Assessed parameters include curriculum flexibility, faculty performance, placement outcomes, affordability, research impact, industry engagement, and cultural relevance of the higher education institution."
