How to read an NIRF list
The National Institutional Ranking Framework is run by the Ministry of Education. Institutions apply, submit their data, and are scored out of 100 on five groups of parameters. Each subject list weighs the groups differently, and the Innovation and SDG lists use parameters of their own.
NIRF publishes an exact rank, usually with a score, only for the top of each list. Below that it places institutions in bands such as 101-150, with no score, so two colleges in the same band are not ranked against each other.
An institution that did not apply is not ranked. Missing from a list does not mean a college is weak, and a rank says nothing about one course's fees or cut-offs.
We show every list exactly as published: no ads in the table, no ratings of our own, and partner colleges are never moved up.
- TLRTeaching, Learning and Resources. Faculty, student strength, finances and how they are used.
- RPResearch and Professional Practice. Publications, citations, patents and professional work.
- GOGraduation Outcomes. Exam results, placements, higher studies and PhDs graduating.
- OIOutreach and Inclusivity. Students from other states, women, and economically and socially challenged groups.
- PRPerception. How employers, academics and the public see the institution.
