What is NIRF?

 

A methodology outlined by GOI’s Ministry of Education and approved by the MHRD, NIRF (National Institutional Ranking Framework) ranks higher educational institutions in the country on the basis of several parameters including an institution's Graduation Outcomes, Research & Professional Practices, Teaching, Learning & Resources, Outreach and Inclusivity, Perception and other areas of operation. 

 

The NIRF Rankings are crucial in the higher education ecosystem for multiple reasons. First of all, it helps the students recognize the credibility of an institute while ensuring that HEIs are consistently working to improve their standing. Also, it ensures that there is no complacency in the institutes you are applying for. 

 

The rankings are announced annually, and the institutions are ranked under 11 different categories, which are as follows: 

• Overall 
• University 
• Colleges 
• Engineering 
• Management 
• Pharmacy 
• Law 
• Medical 
• Architecture 
• Dental 
• Research

 

The ranking is to each of the above categories as per the set of metrics developed by NIRF.
