National Institutional Ranking Framework

The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) is an initiative by the Government of India that assesses and ranks higher education institutions in the country. Launched in 2015, it evaluates universities, colleges, and other institutions based on various parameters, such as teaching, learning, research, outreach, and inclusivity. The intention is to encourage educational excellence and transparency, helping students and parents make informed choices while promoting competition among institutions to improve quality in teaching and research. The rankings are updated annually, providing a benchmark for institutions to aspire to.
