They also provided recommendations for further enhancement, particularly in research initiatives and digital learning integration.

The AAA peer team, consisting of Dr. Watijungshi, Smti. Kuholi Chishi, and Dr. K. Nishena Nekha, accredited the institution with a B Grade and a CGPA of 2.32 on a four-point scale.
