The Indian Institute of Technology(IIT) Madras has retained its top spot in the recently released 9th India Rankings report which ranks the High Educational Institutions in India.
IIT Madras retained its first position in the Overall Category for the sixth consecutive year, from 2019 to 2024.
The 9th Indian Rankings report was released by the Union Minister for Education Dharmendra Pradhan on 12 August 2024 in New Delhi.
The Union Ministry of Human Resource Development approved the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) in 2015. The Ministry was later renamed as the Union Ministry of Education.
The NIRF outlines a methodology for ranking the country's higher educational Institutions (HEIs). The HEIs are ranked on five parameters: Teaching, Learning and Resources, Research and Professional Practices, Graduation Outcomes, Outreach and Inclusivity, and Perception.
The ministry released the first Indian Ratings of the country's HEIs in 2016 based on the NIRF.
In the 9th India Ranking, two changes have been made as compared to the 8th edition.
Here is the list of the top three institutions in the following categories.
