• The TIER-I document has been designed for the pharmacy programmes offered by autonomous institutions and university departments.

• TIER-II document is fine-tuned for the needs of the non-autonomous institutions affiliated to a university.

• In both TIER-I and TIER-II documents, the same set of criteria have been considered for accreditation.

• In the TIER-I document, the criteria which are based on outcome parameters have been given more weightage, whereas in the TIER-II document, the weightage has been reduced, thereby, enhancing the weightage of the output-based criteria.
