IAO's Points Profile System
The main objective of IAO is to increase the standards in education across the globe. It evaluates and accredits educational institutes based on unique Points Profile covered.

- Score based evaluation instead of Pass/Fail
- Comprehensive assessment and recommendation report to improve education standards
- Borderless scope through global representatives.
1.Score Based Evaluation System
The concept of Profile Points system assigns weightage to every answer submitted and rates them to calculate a final score for each dimension. These scores are put together to form a matrix that measure the quality of an institute from different angles. The profile point system is intelligently designed to detect strengths and areas that need improvement to match the international standards. The final matrix gives the overall picture of an institution's quality and standards and also recommends the changes to improve on each dimension.
