“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.

It is an opportunity for us to recommit ourselves to the pursuit of excellence in all our endeavours,” said Pathak.

“As the NAAC coordinator for Cycle-3, I feel happy at this outcome; which underscores good preparedness and robust systems of our institution,” said Sushma Vishnani, dean, academics, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow.
