India Rankings 2020: NIRF

The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) was launched by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) in 2015. This framework outlines a methodology to rank institutions across the country.
There are separate rankings for different types of institutions depending on their areas of operation like universities and colleges, engineering institutions, management institutions, pharmacy institutions and architecture institutions.
The ranking framework evaluates institutions on five broad generic groups of parameters, i.e. Teaching, Learning and Resources (TLR), Research and Professional Practice (RP), Graduation Outcomes (GO), Outreach and Inclusivity (OI) and Perception (PR).
NIRF is one of the criterias for private institutions assessment for the Institutions of Eminence (IoE) Scheme.

The Ministry of Human Resource Development has released its NIRF 2020 rankings recently.

Dental institutions have been included for the first time in the NIRF Rankings bringing the total tally to 10 categories / subject domains.
