NAAC "A" Accreditation

The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) is an autonomous body established by the University Grants Commission (UGC) to assess and accredit higher education institutions in India. NAAC accreditation is a prestigious recognition that signifies an institution's overall quality and effectiveness. NCERC’s NAAC "A" accreditation is a reflection of our dedication to academic excellence, student support, and continuous improvement. To achieve NAAC accreditation, an institution must undergo a rigorous evaluation process that assesses various aspects of its operations, including:

  • Teaching-learning process
  • Research and innovation
  • Infrastructure and facilities
  • Governance and management practices

NAAC accreditation is a voluntary process, but it is highly regarded by students, parents, and employers. It is a mark of quality and excellence, and it signifies that an institution is committed to providing a well-rounded and transformative educational experience.

Autonomous Institution Affiliated to APJAKTU

As an autonomous institution affiliated with the prestigious A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technological University (APJAKTU), Nehru College of Engineering & Research Centre (NCERC) enjoys the best of both worlds. Our autonomy grants us the freedom to design innovative programs and adapt to the evolving needs of the industry. At the same time, our affiliation with APJAKTU ensures that we maintain high academic standards, have access to a wide range of programs, and benefit from the university's strong industry collaborations and quality assurance processes. This empowers NCERC to provide our students with a transformative educational experience and to prepare them for successful careers in the engineering field.

This IOT lab was sponsored by National science and technology entrepreneurship development board (NSTEDB) New Delhi and Entrepreneurship development institution of India. Students can make use of the lab to do projects in Raspberry Pi and ARDUINO. Both theoretical and practical training are given to students in these areas in the IOT lab.

The objectives of IOT lab.

  • To gain knowledge about Arduino and raspberry pi.
  • To implement real time problems and analyze it practically.
  • To study automation on various instruments.
  • To understand the cloud data management using pi.
  • To understand the real time monitoring of various equipments.
