The Ministry of Education is scheduled to announce the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2024 today on August 12 at 3 pm. Higher education institutions in India are ranked and evaluated according to several criteria by the NIRF rankings on an annual basis. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan will hold a press conference to reveal this year’s rankings. The NIRF Rankings 2024 will be made available on nirfindia.org soon after the press conference.
NIRF ranks institutes in the following areas:
— overall
— Engineering
–– Pharmacy
— College
— Treatment
— Law
— Agriculture
— architecture
— dental care.
Teaching and learning, research and professional practice, graduation outcomes, outreach and inclusion, and perception are among the factors used to evaluate each institution. To show the relative importance of each criterion, a range of percentages is used. Teaching, learning and resources, as well as research and professional practice, are each given a 30 percent weighting. Graduation outcomes contribute 20 percent, while outreach, inclusion and perception account for 10 percent of the total weighting.
Last year, IIT Madras had topped the ‘Overall’ category, followed by IISc Bangalore and IIT Delhi. In the ‘University’ category, IISc Bangalore topped the list, followed by JNU and Jamia Millia Islamia. Miranda House dominated the ‘College’ category, while AIIMS Delhi topped the ‘Medical’ category.
There are a total of seven central universities, twenty-four deemed universities, seven private universities, twenty-six state universities, and thirty-six INIs (IITs, NITs) among the top 100 higher education institutions (HEIs) in the ‘Overall’ category of the 2023 NIRF Rankings.
A total of 8,686 applications were submitted for the ranking last year, as opposed to 7,254 in 2022. In 2023, the institutions were divided into thirteen categories, up from four in 2016. The Narendra Modi-led government introduced the NIRF ranking in 2016, making it India’s only university rating system.
While the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) is an important tool for evaluating the performance of educational institutions, University Grants Commission (UGC) chairman Mamidala Jagadeesh Kumar had already highlighted that Rankings do not determine a university’s funding or other regulatory aspects.
