A Study of Methodology for Ranking of Academic Institutions in India through NIRF

The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) was approved by the MHRD and launched by Honourable Minister of Human Resource Development on 29th September 2015. The parameters broadly cover “Teaching, Learning and Resources,” “Research and Professional Practices,” “Graduation Outcomes,” “Outreach and Inclusivity,” and “Perception”. In each parameter, percentile score using the log-function has been derived, which gives - where the Very few institutions have got the accreditation, whereas ranking is open to all. Ranking is a reflection of the yearly performance of the institutions. The overall score can take a maximum value of 100. The institutions can then be rank-ordered based on their scores.
