Noida, 30 October 2024: Noida International University (NIU) proudly announces that its Computer Science & Engineering program at the undergraduate level has been awarded accreditation by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), marking a significant milestone in its journey toward academic excellence, quality assurance, and global recognition.
The NBA accreditation stands as a hallmark of quality in technical education, granted only to programs that meet rigorous benchmarks in curriculum design, faculty competence, research output, infrastructure, and outcome-based education (OBE). NIU’s Computer Science & Engineering program earned this recognition after completing a multi-stage evaluation process, validating its commitment to producing industry-ready graduates.
Dr. Devesh Kumar Singh, Chairman, Noida International University, said, “Earning the NBA accreditation is a proud milestone for the university—it validates the commitment to excellence and innovation in higher education.

Prof. (Dr.) Uma Bhardwaj, Vice Chancellor, NIU, on achieving this milestone, said, ”This achievement reflects our dedication to maintaining global standards of education. NBA accreditation reaffirms our mission to empower students with a strong academic foundation, hands-on experience, and international exposure.”
The Computer Science & Engineering program was evaluated through the process set by NBA, during which the university underwent comprehensive audits and self-assessment reports. The program was commended for its innovative curriculum, qualified faculty, state-of-the-art laboratories, and active research culture.
The faculty and leadership team introduced several reforms to align the curriculum with Outcome-Based Education (OBE) models, emphasizing practical learning, industry integration, and skill-based pedagogy.
The accreditation will bring benefits for current and future students, ensuring that their degrees are recognized by leading industries, PSUs, and global academic institutions. It also enhances opportunities for industry placements, internships, and research collaborations—a testament to NIU’s focus on employability and experiential learning.
The students will now stand on par with graduates from India’s top technical institutions. NBA accreditation will open new pathways for international recognition and professional mobility.
The accreditation also catalyzes faculty advancement. Faculty members are encouraged to pursue interdisciplinary research, publish in reputed journals, and engage in global academic exchange programs. This recognition strengthens NIU’s academic ecosystem and encourages a culture of innovation within the computer science & engineering domain.
The National Board of Accreditation (NBA) grants accreditation based on a comprehensive evaluation of multiple academic and institutional parameters, including the alignment of an institution’s vision and mission with national educational goals, the curriculum design and delivery framework grounded in Outcome-Based Education (OBE), the qualifications and research contributions of faculty members, the availability and quality of infrastructure and laboratory facilities, the academic performance, placements, and higher education progression of students, and the institution’s commitment to continuous improvement through systematic feedback and quality enhancement mechanisms.
These initiatives reflect NIU’s strategic vision of preparing graduates who are globally competent, ethically grounded, and industry-ready. This achievement underscores adherence to these criteria, establishing it as one of the few private universities in India to hold this prestigious recognition in computer science education.
