NAAC accreditation
NAAC publishes its own list of institutions holding a valid accreditation. On that list, as on 14 August 2025, this institution is recorded as follows.
| Name on the NAAC list | DR. M.G.R. EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH INSTITUTE |
|---|---|
| AISHE code | U-0461 |
| Grade | A+ |
| CGPA | 3.48 |
| Cycle | 3 |
| Date of declaration | 2 August 2022 |
A NAAC grade is not permanent. It is awarded for a fixed term and has to be renewed, so the date of declaration above is the figure a family paying several years of fees actually needs, and it is the one a brochure rarely carries. We print the record as NAAC states it and draw no conclusion from it. If the institution holds a more recent record, it can write to us and we will update this page.

Each filing above is a PDF the institution itself sent to the government. Under Sanctioned (Approved) Intake it carries the real seat numbers for every programme across six years, with student strength, faculty count and expenditure beside them. If anybody promises you a seat, the promise has to fit inside those numbers.
Four things this page cannot settle
A record is a starting point, not a verdict.
Recognition and rank say nothing about what your family pays or what your degree is worth. Each of these has its own page, written once and kept current.
