Communication-skills evidence for NBA, NAAC and NIRF reports
TalkDrill lets a college map its seven skill families to course outcomes once, then export CO/PO attainment and NBA, NAAC, NIRF and AICTE appendix tables, each with its denominators and sources. The exports are labelled as evidence for faculty and IQAC review, not as a compliance claim.
Where communication shows up in accreditation
NBA
Communication is programme outcome PO9 in NBA’s 2025 SAR format (PO10 in the earlier twelve-outcome list), and Criterion 3 scores course- and programme-outcome attainment.
NAAC
Metric 5.1.3 covers capacity-building initiatives, including soft skills and language and communication skills; metric 5.2.1 is the percentage of outgoing students placed.
UGC curriculum framework
The UGC framework for undergraduate programmes includes Ability Enhancement Courses in language and communication (8 credits) and Skill Enhancement Courses (9 credits), each with outcomes to attain.
What the console records and exports
CO/PO and accreditation exports
Map the seven skills to your course outcomes once, then export CO/PO attainment and NBA, NAAC, NIRF and AICTE appendix tables, each with its denominators and sources — labelled as evidence for faculty and IQAC review, not a compliance claim.
Batch reports, a weekly email and CSV
Per batch: who joined, started and finished, baseline against latest, weakest skills and drop-off, plus a pilot evaluation across the rollout. A weekly email covers readiness movement, who is at risk and classes coming up, and every table exports to CSV.
Attendance and participation
Attendance and participation scores from classes and practice slots, taken from actual time in the room, shown apart from skill scores.
Placement outcomes beside readiness
After each drive, the outcome recorded for each student sits next to the readiness band they were in.
What the exports are not
They are not a compliance certificate. Every table carries its denominators and sources so faculty and the IQAC can check it, and whether and where to file it is the institution’s decision.
There is no direct connection to an ERP or accreditation portal today; the tables export, and the institution files them.
