Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between accreditation status (NAAC/NBA) and student preferences during college selection, with a particular focus on the influence of campus placement opportunities. By surveying 339 students across various engineering colleges in India, the study explores how accreditation and placement performance are prioritized. Findings reveal that while a significant number of students recognize the value of accreditation, placement records remain the most influential factor. This paper further discusses implications for educational policy and offers recommendations for institutions to enhance their attractiveness to prospective students through a balanced approach to academic excellence and employability..
