Sir / Madam

        How many books are needed for NBA accreditation in engineering college in four years. In my institute ten thousand books are available. But I don’t know  how many books are needed for four-year old library.

Thanks & regards

Dear, First of all you should maintain Students :Book ratio as per AICTE norms. Simply you should cover all subject as per syllabus of the affiliating university, means, each subject-each student-one title/volume. Apart from this, some Reference books (like Engg. Hand book, Educational Directory, Various types of Dictionaries), Exam Preparation Guide (like CAT,MAT,GRE,TOEFL,SAT, Indian Engg Service(IES),Civil Service etc.) books enrich your library.

Journals –both in print format and e-journal (like IEEE, Elsevier Science Direct ect.) of related subjects must be kept as a resources.

*Accession Register with corresponding purchase bill of books and journals must be kept as ready reference; they don’t rely on ILM software generated Accession register. The team also ask for Daily uses register. All services provided by library must have an uses register.

NBA allotted 25 marks for Library. The moto of NBA is to ensure for quality education.
