How Are The Rankings Calculated
The ranking framework evaluates institutions on five broad generic groups of parameters of teaching, learning and resources, research and professional practice, graduation outcomes, outreach and inclusivity and perception.
The ranks are assigned based on the total sum of marks assigned for each of these five broad groups of parameters.
All registered institutes were invited to submit the data through online Data Capturing System (DCS) which opened on November 29, 2023.
The annual rankings are usually announced in April but were delayed this year. The NIRF was accepted by the Ministry of Education (MoE) and launched by the Minister for Education on September 29, 2015. This framework outlines a methodology to rank institutions across the country.
