In which year was the NBA set up (as per this question)?

The National Board of Accreditation was set up in 1994 to assess the quality of technical education programmes.

1991 is too early and marks the phase of economic liberalisation rather than this body's founding.

2001 does not match its formation, which predates the millennium.

2005 is later than its actual setting up and confuses it with reforms of that decade.

It was originally established under the All India Council for Technical Education.

It later became autonomous and now grants programme-level accreditation to engineering and technical courses.
