“The institute has had the rare achievement of having NAAC accreditation since 2012 (Cycle-1, Grade A, Score 3.20). In 2017, it was reaccredited (Cycle-2, Grade A, Score 3.32). In 2023, the institute attained the milestone of an A+ grade, a score of 3.45 in the Cycle-3 assessment. This is a distinction for a stand-alone PGDM institution. Its academic programmes are accredited by NBA,” said Kavita Pathak, director, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow in a statement on Monday.

“This outcome is based on an appeal made by the institute on its previous grade (B++); on favourable hearing of the appeal a revisit of the peer team took place and the final grade awarded was A+. It is an opportunity for us to recommit ourselves to the pursuit of excellence in all our endeavours,” said Pathak.
