The rankings will be published on the official website, nirfindia.org. The top-ranking institutions will be categorized into 13 groups, including universities, colleges, engineering, management, law, architecture, dental, innovation, agriculture, allied institutions, and research institutions.
The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) was approved by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) and officially launched by the Honorable Minister of HRD on September 29, 2015.
According to the official site, “This framework outlines a methodology to rank institutions across the country. The methodology draws from the overall recommendations and broad understanding arrived at by a Core Committee set up by MHRD to identify the broad parameters for ranking various universities and institutions. The parameters broadly cover ‘Teaching, Learning and Resources,’ ‘Research and Professional Practices,’ ‘Graduation Outcomes,’ ‘Outreach and Inclusivity,’ and ‘Perception.'”
