Globalisation of higher education has compelled the Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) and Universities to maintain the quality standard of higher education and boost innovation, skills, resilience and research mindset so as to meet the global dynamic requirements. Accreditation is an effective instrument of quality assurance for these institutions and universities since it provides educational institutions an increased sense of direction and identity with greater sense of accountability and enhanced credibility. National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) has been implementing the activity of quality assessment and accreditation of HEIs in India. The present study attempts to explore the factors affecting the criterion-wise score and also overall scoring pattern of accredited HEIs of Chhattisgarh state. Findings indicate that HEIs with postgraduation programme positively and that in rural areas negatively impact the accreditation scores. Results show developmental implications for all stakeholders including the government, the public and all institutions towards specific attributes for improving the accreditation scores or grades.
