NBEAC secretariat, in consultation with the business school applying for accreditation of a business degree program, nominates a professional Peer Review Team (PRT) to conduct a 2.5 days site visit for accreditation. The relevant committee of NBEAC grants the final approval of PRT. Normally, a PRT consists of five to six members as follows:
- The Chair: Typically, a senior academician from NBEAC approved pool of reviewers who has served as a team member in at least three accreditation visits.
- Academic Members: Two to three academicians from NBEAC approved academic panel of reviewers.
- Industry Representative: A business practitioner or a management consultant (c-suite) from NBEAC approved pool of industry representatives.
- NBEAC Representative: An official from NBEAC secretariat who acts as an observer and facilitator.
