website only and provide the link of the same in the template and/or in the HEI-DVV clarification response.
 Data/supporting documents provided over Google Drive, Microsoft one drive, Amazon Cloud and on any third-party websites will not be
considered for data validation and verification process.

providing the links in running text to enable the hyperlink, press “Enter Key”, then paste the link, and again press, “Enter Key”. Provide the
relevant supporting documents as per the SOP during the SSR submission to facilitate speedy DVV clarification process.

 The institution should give the links as appropriate to the metric and not general links whose landing page is the HEI’s home page. In case the
links do not work during DVV clarification stage, the decision of NAAC will be final.
