Detailed pre-diagnostic audit assessing your campus across NAAC and NBA criteria to identify compliance deficiencies, verify research records, and calculate actual grade potential.
Submitting portal data without a thorough diagnostic audit exposes your institution to severe grading risk.
TESS's pre-accreditation Gap Analysis provides an objective review of your campus: checking faculty files, evaluating curriculum feedback loops, inspecting labs, and reviewing budget utilization logs.
We deliver a comprehensive grading report with prioritized recommendations, allowing you to address gap points before inspectors visit.
Key check areas evaluated during the pre-accreditation diagnostic phase.
| Audit Category | Required Benchmark (Standard A) | Common Gaps Identified | TESS Direct Correction Actions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Faculty Resumes | Min. 60%-70% PhD-qualified core faculty | Mismatched registry records, lack of doctoral guide proofs | Reviewing resumes and structuring doctoral guides index files |
| Feedback ATRs | Quarterly feedback log with action-taken reports | No documented evidence of feedback implementation | Creating feedback databases and ATR templates |
| Research Citations | Average 1.0 publication per faculty yearly | Inconsistent institutional affiliation naming in publications | Correcting citation name strings on Scopus and Web of Science |
| Budget Records | Clear, audited statement matching HEI portal categories | Mismatches between structural audit lines and data templates | Aligning structural finance sheets with portal templates |
| Student Progression | Complete registry of placement salary slips & PG offers | Lack of documentation for self-employed alumni | Structuring support files and collecting placement records |
A step-by-step roadmap from initial diagnostic report to final grading outcomes.
Verifying template submissions, student records, and research citation counts on the HEI portal.
Assessing on-site laboratories, administrative processes, computer centers, and libraries.
Calculating the estimated CGPA and highlighting parameters that require immediate attention.
Filing a prioritized list of corrections and templates to address gaps ahead of peer team visits.
A standard diagnostic audit takes 3 to 4 weeks. This includes 1 week of portal review, 3-4 days of physical campus inspection, and 1 week of data analysis and gap report writing. We provide a complete grading forecast upon completion.
If the diagnostic audit uncovers serious issues (such as low faculty counts or inadequate labs), TESS helps you delay the portal submission timeline safely. We then assist you in resolving these deficiencies before proceeding with the application.
Yes, we help clean up, restructure, and format student registries, financial ledgers, and feedback minutes from previous years to align with the requirements of current portal templates.
