Rigorous audits were carried out and detailed self assessment reports were filed when the university underwent an examination by the NBA for accreditation of the MBA program. The program had a modern curriculum, well-experienced staff, good laboratories, an active research culture and strong industrial and academic linkages. Reforms regarding matching the curriculum with the OBE standards were implemented by faculty and leadership, emphasising skill based pedagogy, increased engagement of industry and practical learning components.

This accreditation benefits the current and prospective students by assuring that their degrees will be accepted both by top corporations and public-sector organisations and by worldwide academic institutions. It also improves opportunities for internships, placements and research collaborations, showing NIU's emphasis on experiential learning and employability.

NBA recognition gives opportunities for global awareness and career mobility. It promotes faculty growth in terms of multidisciplinary research, publication in reputed journals and participation in worldwide academic exchange programs. The accreditation thus supports the academic ecosystem at NIU and encourages innovation in the MBA curriculum.
