Expert collaborative drafting of the 7-criterion Self-Study Report. Meticulous qualitative writing, quantitative data verification, and compilation of evidence sheets for HEI submissions.
The Self-Study Report (SSR) represents the single most critical presentation package your institution submits to the NAAC portal.
TESS provides deep-dive assistance in drafting the SSR: coordinating documentation across all 7 criteria, verifying templates for student databases, compiling structural audit reports, and checking proof sheets to minimize portal query queries.
Our solutions prevent data mismatches during the DVV phase, locking in high pre-peer scores before inspectors arrive on campus.

Step-by-step roadmap from initial diagnostic report to final grading outcomes.
Setting up criteria-wise team coordinators and deploying custom documentation cloud portals.
Compiling certified audit statements, publication logs, lab invoices, and student feedback files.
Drafting descriptions of executive processes, best practices (Criterion 7.2), and campus culture narratives.
Verifying all data points against the DVV validation template before final submission locking.
NAAC limits document sizes to 5MB per upload on the portal. If your supporting data exceeds this limit, you must host the files on your institutional website and provide verified URL links. TESS structures and tests these website data links for compliance.
Criterion 7.2 requires writing down two distinct, functional best practices of your institution in a specified format (Title, Goal, Context, Practice, Evidence of Success, Problems Encountered). TESS curates these practices to highlight your unique strengths.
Data mismatches happen when figures in data templates differ from documents like audits or certificates. TESS performs cross-checking audits to ensure matching figures across all documents.
