The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) is a method adopted by the Ministry of Education, Government of India to rank institutions of higher education in India. NIRF was first approved by the Ministry of Human Resource Development in India and later again launched by the Minister of Human Resource Development on 29 September 2015.
Based on their areas of operation, the institutions are ranked under 11 different categories – Overall, Universities, Colleges, Engineering, Dentistry, Medicine, Management, Pharmacy, Law, Architecture and Research.
The framework uses a number of parameters for ranking purposes such as resources, research and stakeholder perception. These parameters are divided into five groups and some weights are given to these groups. This ranking depends on the type of institution. In the first round of ranking, about 3500 institutions participated voluntarily.
The ranking list for 2017 was released by MHRD on 3rd April 2017. While in its first ranking released in 2016, NIRF had four categories (University, Engineering, Management and Pharmacy), in 2017, two more categories, Overall and College, were added.
