New categories and changes in criteria
This year, the NIRF introduced three new categories: “open universities,” “specialized universities,” and “state-funded government universities.” The ranking framework assesses institutions across 16 categories, including general, universities, engineering, management, medicine, and law, among others. The framework considers five broad parameters: teaching, learning and resources, research and professional practice, graduation outcomes, outreach and inclusion, and perception.
In addition, the evaluation criteria have been updated, with changes in the teacher-student ratio, which has been adjusted from 1:15 to 1:10 in medical institutes and increased to 1:20 in state government universities.
Now in its ninth edition, the NIRF remains a key indicator of the performance and quality of higher education institutions in India, with over 5,500 institutions participating last year. AICTE Chairman Anil Sahasrabudhe announced plans to introduce a “sustainability rating” category next year, which will focus on environmental responsibility in education.
