Lucknow, Nov. 27 -- Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University has been awarded an A+ grade by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) on Wednesday, following its appeal for re-evaluation of the earlier A grade. This was AKTU's first NAAC assessment. Vice-chancellor Prof JP Pandey said the accreditation followed a rigorous process, including a hybrid inspection from June 17 to 19 by a seven-member NAAC team.
