·         Readiness visit: The school prepares for and hosts a visit by NABET. 

·         Assessment: A team of assessors visits the school and submits their observations. 

·         Corrective action: The school takes corrective action for the observations raised by the assessors and submits supporting documents to the NABET portal. 

·         Final assessment: NABET proposes a final assessment, where an assessor reviews the school's facilities and management system to verify compliance with standards. 

·         Accreditation certificate: If NABET accepts the corrective and preventive action, the school receives an accreditation certificate.
