What is the NIRF Ranking?
The National Institutional Ranking Framework was launched by the Minister of Human Resource Development on September 23, 2015, and approved by the MHRD as a standardised tool to rank institutions across India. Since its inception, it has been a trusted benchmark for academic institutions, guiding students, educators, and policymakers in understanding and comparing the performance of universities and colleges nationwide.
The NIRF framework aims to recognise universities and colleges across India and rank the colleges based on these five essential parameters: Teaching, Learning and Resources, Research and Professional Practice, Graduation, Outcomes, Outreach and Inclusivity and Peer Perception. NIRF India aims to help students determine which colleges are best suitable for them and the field they want to study by ranking the Universities and Colleges every year.
