SAAC (State Assessment and Accreditation Centre) in higher education refers to the first state-level quality assurance body in India, established in Kerala under the Kerala State Higher Education Council (KSHEC) to assess and accredit institutions using state-specific criteria alongside national standards, focusing on quality, equity, and inclusivity to prepare for NAAC accreditation and promote overall institutional excellence in the state.

Key Functions of SAAC:
