Criterion 2 - Teaching-Learning & Evaluation - is the heaviest-weighted section in the NAAC framework, worth up to 350 marks out of 1,000. Every key indicator under C2 maps to a GradeLab feature that produces system-generated, DVV-survivable evidence. No hand-built spreadsheets. No retroactive attainment fabrication.

Each criterion below maps specific GradeLab features to the NAAC key indicators and metrics that assessors evaluate. Strong = primary evidence source. Moderate = supporting evidence. Weak = narrative-only contribution.

Every exam graded through GradeLab generates system-produced evidence: timestamped result publication logs, rubric-enforced moderation records, CO attainment computations from marks, and audit trails. This evidence accumulates every semester, so when your SSR window opens, the data is already there | no spreadsheet panic, no retroactive data fabrication.
Every attainment computation produces a deterministic SHA-256 hash of its inputs | the marks, CO mappings, and weighting configuration. DVV verification can recompute attainment on demand and confirm the numbers match exactly. It proves the evidence derives from actual graded marks, not post-hoc fabrication.
Criterion 2 (Teaching-Learning & Evaluation) is the heaviest-weighted section in NAAC at up to 350 marks. GradeLab directly covers IT integration in examination management, timely result declaration, moderation/standardization, question-paper blueprint quality, continuous assessment reform, and CO attainment from marks | the core of what C2 evaluates.
Yes. GradeLab’s longitudinal dashboards produce annual exam analytics, CO attainment trends, and improvement notes | the same data your IQAC needs for AQAR submissions. Instead of scrambling once a cycle, your AQAR data is continuously updated as exams are graded.
No. GradeLab provides data and evidence infrastructure | the system-generated logs, dashboards, and attainment computations that assessors evaluate. We never promise a specific grade outcome ("A++," "3.51 CGPA"). Final accreditation grades depend on peer-team judgment and factors outside any vendor’s control.
