Conclusion
Without any such accreditation, it would be fairly difficult to determine
whether the institution meets or exceeds minimum qualities or not.
However, getting the accreditation enforces high-quality teaching,
learning research, industry and government partnership, etc, to
compel institutes to upkeep their reputation.
