IAC 2020 Programme | seaaservices

Standards for Educational Advancement & Accreditation (SEAA) Trust, New Delhi had pioneered International Accreditation Advocacy and brought all the top rated accreditation systems on the same platform year on year since 2008, the year of its incorporation . The current year conference Registration in open. The conference is being held online for three days on November 5, 6, & 7, 2020. Register early as there are only limited seats. Single registration link for all three days. No fees for registration.
Handbook on Accreditation: We have also been publishing world's only unique Handbook on International Accreditation incorporating the updated standards of leading accreditors including the AACSB, EFMD, AMBA, ACBSP, IACBE, BGA, ATHEA & SAQS.

Student case competition: For four years in a row we have been conducting student Instant cases competition in association with Peregrine Global's B-school Resource Center. Registration for this already open for student teams.

The annual conferences of SEAA had always brought together powerful thought leaders representing top rated International Accreditation Agencies, including AACSB, EFMD, AMBA, ACBSP, IACBE, SAQS, ATHEA, British Accreditation Council and BGA.

Our conferences, seminars, workshops, Round-tables, faculty training programmes and leadership development events over the past 12 years has definitely impacted quality development in world's second largest MBA market that produces over quarter million BBA and MBA students annually.

From the accompanying listing one can easily discern that from the very start SEAA was talking about accreditation as a means for the Indian business schools to benchmark with the best in their class in order to build their leadership and student support systems. We have always advocated very high benchmarks in quality and hoped that with the international accreditation Indian business school faculty and leadership may be able to mentor overseas campuses. That all this and more actually happened on the ground is an endorsement to our consistency and visionary strategy. Through two campaigns, "100 by 2015" and "100 by 2020 ", we were able to impress the 3000 plus business schools to acquaint with peer reviewed global quality and achieve nearly a century mark in internationally accredited schools in India at present with another 100 plus schools becoming members of various accreditation systems we track.

Welcome to our XIII International Accreditation Conference that plans to explore the opportunities for introducing globally bench-marked quality in business education for which Standards for Educational Advancement & Accreditation (SEAA) had committed to from its inception since the year 2008. We have been fortunate to work closely with the globally renowned accreditation systems to introduce international best practices in campuses whether or not they go in for accreditation, Indian or international.

The prevailing global pandemic situation has also ironically hastened the process of technology led future. The campuses are learning albeit the hard way that the future is for connected classrooms or no classroom at all. The brick and mortar has now been firmly replaced with click and computers in building future classrooms. What many of us believed in the early development of internet in the eighties and nineties that world would come together erasing its economic, cultural, language and perhaps even the political barriers seem to be now happening as the future human resource being developed at the campuses would be global, their education seamless and continuous going beyond the rigid one or two year duration and so on.

At this point we can only guess as to where the campuses are headed.
