The Ministry of Education is set to unveil the highly anticipated NIRF Rankings for 2024, an annual assessment that benchmarks educational institutions across India based on critical parameters. This year marks a milestone: the ninth annual release of these highly respected rankings, carefully managed by the Ministry.
Understanding NIRF’s Methodology
The NIRF rankings employ a rigorous methodology developed by a Core Committee under the Ministry of Human Resource Development. Here’s how it works: institutions are graded on five fundamental aspects, with each aspect pulling a different weight in the calculation of the final score.
Key Evaluation Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Teaching, Learning, and Resources | Evaluates faculty-student ratio, faculty qualifications, and financial resource utilization. |
| Research and Professional Practices | Focuses on research output, publications, patents, and professional projects. |
| Graduation Outcomes | Measures success through university exam results and number of PhD graduates. |
| Inclusivity starts with outreach, an open-door policy that lets fresh ideas pour in, and hearts and minds openly receive them. | With students streaming in from far-flung areas and diverse facilities tailored to meet specific needs, our diversity shines bright. |
| Perception | Assesses reputation among academic peers and employers. |
