Quality human resources and knowledge workforce plays a vital role in the emerging environment and digital economy. Assessment and Accreditation (AA) of education ensures the quality of education and make the system more responsive to demand and accountability. This paper explores international quality assurance models and compares the significant quality parameters of higher education with the Indian accreditation system. India's accreditation bodies, National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) and National Board of Accreditation (NBA) maintain the quality of higher education in India which evaluates the institutional and programme standards respectively. The research mainly adopted generic quality parameters identified by the global accreditation agencies for the survey and feedback from the educational experts in higher education. The paper aims to propose a quality assurance framework model that matches with global standards.Downloads
