About India Rankings 

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.

Changes in the 9th India Ranking of HEIs

In the 9th India Ranking, two changes have been made as compared to the 8th edition.

  • State Public Universities, Open Universities, and Skill Universities categories have been added.
  • Innovation Institution category has been included in the India Ranking.
