SPPSPTM is Accreditation by NAAC

Consequently, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) was established in 1994 as an autonomous institution under the University Grants Commission (UGC), headquartered in Bengaluru. NAAC's vision is to make quality assurance an integral part of the functioning of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

NAAC operates through its General Council (GC) and Executive Committee (EC), consisting of educational administrators, policymakers, and senior academicians representing various sectors of the Indian higher education system. The President of the GC of NAAC is the Chairperson of the UGC, while an eminent academician nominated by the President of the GC serves as the Chairperson of the EC. The Director serves as the academic and administrative head of NAAC and acts as the member-secretary of both the GC and the EC. Additionally, NAAC receives guidance from advisory and consultative committees established periodically to provide insights and recommendations.

SPPSPTM is approved by NBA and PCI

National Board of Accreditation (NBA)

The National Board of Accreditation (NBA), India, was initially established by the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) under section 10(u) of the AICTE Act in 1994. Its primary objective was to evaluate the qualitative competence of programs offered by educational institutions from diploma to post-graduate levels in engineering and technology, management, pharmacy, architecture, and related disciplines, all of which were approved by AICTE.

Subsequently, NBA transitioned into an independent autonomous body on January 7th, 2010, with a focus on ensuring quality and relevance in technical education, particularly in professional and technical disciplines like Engineering and Technology, Management, Architecture, Pharmacy, Hotel Management, and Catering Technology. This was achieved through the accreditation of programs offered by technical institutions. In April 2013, the Memorandum of Association and Rules of NBA were amended to grant complete independence from AICTE, both administratively and financially.

Pharmacy Council of India PCI

Pharmacy education and the profession in India, up to the graduate level, are overseen by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI), a statutory body governed by the provisions of the Pharmacy Act of 1948, passed by the Parliament. PCI was established on August 9th, 1949, under section 3 of the Pharmacy Act.

The Pharmacy Act of 1948 was enacted on March 4th, 1948, with the following preamble: "An Act to regulate the profession of pharmacy. Whereas it is expedient to make better provision for the regulation of the profession and practice of pharmacy and for that purpose to constitute Pharmacy Councils."
