Meticulous outcome mapping (CO-PO-PSO alignment), Self-Assessment Report (SAR) compilation, and peer audits for B.Tech, B.Pharm, and MBA courses under Washington Accord standards.
Unlike NAAC which evaluates the whole institution, the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) audits specific technical programs (Engineering, Pharmacy, MBA) under Washington Accord quality standards.
TESS provides a complete NBA alignment package: writing Course Outcomes (COs), mapping them to Program Outcomes (POs) and Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs), validating student assessment data, and auditing continuous quality improvement (CQI) programs.
We work with departmental coordinators to compile the SAR and conduct mock inspections to ensure your programs receive accreditation for the maximum 6-year term.

| Student Performance | 150 Points | Pass percentages, higher education, placement records | Clean, audit-ready registry compilation |
| Continuous Improvement | 75 Points | Improvements based on previous evaluations | Structuring the CQI plan and action reports |
A step-by-step roadmap from initial diagnostic report to final grading outcomes.
Drafting Course Outcomes, mapping CO-PO grids, and setting up rubrics for lab/project assessments.
Reviewing calculations, student progression figures, faculty lists, and completing portal data entries.
Audit of course files, laboratory notebooks, structural safety records, and faculty lecture registers.
Coaching faculty/students for question sessions, managing visual exhibits, and securing 3 or 6 year accreditation.
Tier-I criteria are applicable to autonomous institutes and university departments that design their own syllabus. Tier-II criteria apply to affiliated colleges that follow a parent university curriculum. TESS has customized SAR formats and templates for both tiers.
Graduates from Tier-I NBA-accredited engineering programs are recognized globally as holding equivalent degrees under Washington Accord signatory nations, facilitating international career mobility. We align your programs to meet these rigorous international standards.
Direct attainment is computed from internal examinations, assignments, and university grades. Indirect attainment is calculated from graduate exit surveys, alumni surveys, and employer feedback. We provide Excel models that automate these calculations.
