Accreditation Criterion fulfilled by MUST University
Accreditation basically is the act of granting credit or recognition, especially with respect to an educational institution that maintains appropriate standards for education. Accreditation is also a system used to determine if institutions of higher education meet acceptable levels of educational quality.
MUST University is accredited by IAO (International Accreditation Organization) which is a renowned accrediting body across the globe. For details visit

IAO has a stringent evaluation process that is patented to IAO. It does not accredit institutions that award degrees based 100% on experience or prior learning meaning any “degree mill” cannot be accredited by IAO.
Here is a summary of the process of IAO’s strict evaluation criterion.
Firstly, it requires a detailed online presentation from the prospective institution (MUST University in this case)
The prospective institution is then required to submit forms and affidavit. The form shall cover organizational management, academic management and institutional performance of the institution. The institution then needs to provide information on mission, institute, and the programs offered, information about faculty, etc. followed by an affidavit confirming that the information provided is genuine.
Upon the verification of the submitted documents, the prospective institution (MUST University) is evaluated for candidacy of an accredited institute on the points profiling system of IAO which is designed in line with the global best practices. To see the points profiling system visit:

Finally full accreditation status is provided to the prospective institute (MUST University) after assessment of:
- Online or distance learning platform and system if the institution is solely an online/distance learning establishment. This means a detailed audit of online education provision system in terms of both the front end ease-of-use of the user interfaces and the back–end security and technology systems of the educational set-up to confirm that the institute conforms to their (IAO’s) standards and requirements
- Gauging student feedback
- Reviewing processes and systems against IAO’s proprietary assessment.
MUST University had successfully cleared this stringent evaluation and is permitted to grant/award degrees that are acceptable anywhere in the world.
