New Delhi, India, June 05, 2023 — Minister of State for Education and External Affairs, Dr. Rajkumar Ranjan Singh, today released the India Rankings 2023, which implements the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) drafted for this purpose by the Ministry of Education in 2015. The Secretary (HE) Sanjay Murthy); Prof. M Jagadesh Kumar, Chairman of UGC; Prof. T.G. Sitharam, Chairman of AICTE; Prof. Anil Sahasrabuddhe, Chairman of NETF and NBA; Dr. Abhay Jere, Vice Chairman of AICTE; and Dr. Anil Kumar Nassa, Member Secretary of NBA, were among the attendees, including Vice-Chancellors and Directors of Higher Education Institutions.
During the event, Dr. Rajkumar Ranjan emphasized the importance of ranking and accreditation in evaluating the quality of educational programs offered by colleges and universities. He commended the Ministry of Education for drafting the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) in 2015, which assesses the quality and excellence of HEIs in India across various categories and subject domains and ranks them based on their cumulative score.
Dr. Ranjan also noted how India Rankings had become a valuable tool for students in identifying universities based on their relative standing in various categories and subject domains among HEIs in the country. He mentioned that it has also helped universities identify areas for improvement in teaching, research, resources, and infrastructure.
While Dr. Ranjan was pleased with the increase in the number of institutions applying for ranking in different categories and subject domains, he emphasized the importance of working collectively to bring more institutions under India Rankings and accreditation.
The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), launched in November 2015 by the Ministry of Education, has been used for this edition and the previous seven editions of India Rankings. The NIRF identifies five broad categories of parameters and their weightage on a scale of 1 to 10, including Teaching, Learning & Resources, Research and Professional Practice, Graduation Outcome, Outreach and Inclusivity, and Perception.
Overall, the increase in the number of applicants and institutions ranked in India’s Rankings from 2016 to 2023 is a positive development, and the continued efforts towards collective improvement and inclusion will only further enhance the quality of higher education institutions in India.
