Others • Accreditation is for the DOEACC computer course and the institute is not accredited as such. It is applicable for the course at the specified location only. Accreditation given in the name of an institute is not automatically applicable to its branches / centres / head office/franchises/licensees etc. Each centre is required to have independent accreditation for each level. • Accreditation is a continuous process and new institutes get accredited from time to time. Accreditation granted to an existing institute may be withdrawn if its fails to adhere to the specified norms or for other specified reasons. • Observers who are experts in the filed are requested to visit the concerned institutes and send their reports when complaints about the functioning of the institutes are to be investigated or deficiencies in their yearly reports are to be looked into. • The performance of an institute is reviewed through the yearly reports submitted by an institute, the Observer's reports on the functioning of an institute and by the performance of candidates appearing in DOEACC examinations from the institute taking into account also the number of candidates sent by the institute for such examinations. • Provisional accreditation in the first instance granted for a period of three years for O/A/C levels and five years for B level. Institutes are allowed to run no. of courses/batches commensurate with the qualified faculty, infrastructure exist with the institute, based on which the maximum no. of the students which institute can train for each level are decided. • Application for 'A' level accreditation may be submitted by the institute who are authorised to conduct DOEACC 'O' level course and have met the criteria of faculty minimum number of candidates in each module of DOEACC 'O' level examination.
