What is CBSE School Quality Assessment and Accreditation (SQAA)?

The CBSE aspires to lay down a set of standards and best practices as paradigms for attaining the benchmark in an
individual institution for the upliftment of learning outcomes in the domain of school education imparted
to children.

The CBSE School Quality Assessment and Accreditation (SQAA) is holistic as it covers all aspects of a
school functioning, namely its Scholastic and Co-scholastic Domains, Infrastructural Areas, Human
Resources, Management and Administration, Leadership and Beneficiary Satisfaction.
The Seven Domains identified by CBSE are infact focused on the seven areas and processes of developing
the capabilities of school holistically. By participating in the process of accreditation the institutions will
raise their bar of excellence and move towards continuous improvement in quality.
The Domains are further divided into Sub-Domains which qualify the various aspects of that particular
domain. Each sub-domain has a number of indicators under which benchmarks have been developed
with a weightage of between 0-7. The bands are 0 or 1, 2, 4 and 7 and if an institution falls between these
bands they can also score 1,3,5 or 6 respectively
