NIRF (National Institutional Ranking Framework)

The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) is a government system used to evaluate and rank higher education institutions in India based on various factors like teaching quality, research output, infrastructure, student outcomes, and outreach. It aims to provide transparency and help students, parents, and institutions understand their relative performance. Rankings encourage institutions to improve standards and foster healthy competition. NIRF's methodology combines multiple data points to produce an overall score, reflecting institutional excellence across different domains, enabling informed decision-making and promoting higher education quality nationwide.
