Abstract
The paper discusses the evolution of Accreditation Criteria for Engineering Programs by the Indian National Board of Accreditation (NBA), a body set up to enhance the quality, standard, relevance, excellence and extent of engineering education in India. Although international practices are followed in the methodology and Criteria evolved by NBA and experience gained, some shortcomings noticed in their use are now causing concern. These are also covered, followed by the challenges ahead.
