(THE GIST OF PIB) India Rankings 2021

This is the sixth consecutive edition of India Rankings of Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) in India by the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF).

NIRF has been accepted by the MoE in September 2015. This framework outlines a methodology to rank institutions across the country.
It is the first-ever effort by the government to rank HEIs in the country. Before NIRF, HEIs were usually ranked by private entities.
Participation in the NIRF was made compulsory for all government-run educational institutions in 2018.
All education institutions are assessed on five parameters namely teaching, learning and resources, research and professional practices, graduation outcomes, outreach and inclusivity, and perception.
NIRF lists out best institutions across 11 categories i.e., overall national ranking, universities, engineering, college, medical, management, pharmacy, law, architecture, dental and research.
