Genesis of Global Accreditation Advocacy

In our assessment based on working closely with the B-schools, at least 25 Indian business schools are ready to adopt international accreditation of the like of Association of MBA's and another 30 B-schools at least could also be on the way to take up the global quality benchmarks. Therefore information and practical insights into accreditation process is sine qua non at this juncture to put accreditation on a fast track, whether Indian or international.

Standards for Educational Advancement & Accreditation (SEAA) Trust's international conferences, workshops, panel discussions, Roundtables and in-campus seminars, training programmes for faculty are efforts to advocate quality assurance through accreditation benchmarks to Indian B-schools. The time for international accreditation has come and it is also time that the Indian and international corporate started recognising accreditation certification as an essential pre-requisite for recruitment from the B-schools concerned as these are possibly the best endorsement of the intrinsic quality of the campus.

SEAA was founded under the leadership of A.Thothathri Raman, who has been working towards capacity building with quality in B-Schools for the last over a decade. He has been a Business Journalist with three decades of experience. In the past one decade he has been running the largest and the most prominent annual rankings of B-Schools in country at Business India fortnightly where he works as a Consulting Editor. His coordinates are available on his personal webpages. The Advisory Board of the SEAA Trust is chaired by Dr A K Sengupta, Director of SIESCOMS, Navi Mumbai, an eminent B-schools action leader. He is also the chairman of Higher Education Forum the largest Google Commnity of higher education academia.
