th rdtheMinistryofEducation(seeAppendixI),wasconvenedundertheChairmanshipofSecretary(HE)on5 and23

ranking institutionsunder two additional subject domains, namely,Agriculture andDental from2020onwards.

However,while rankingof institutionsundersubjectdomain “Dental”wasundertaken thisyearconsidering the

requestreceivedfromtheDentalAssociationofIndia,rankingofinstitutionsunder“Agriculture”subjectdomainwas

not undertaken as desired by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).Moreover, based on feedback

1. Background

TheprocessofframingNationalInstitutionalRankingFramework(NIRF)beganonOctober9,2014withconstitution

ofa16-memberCoreCommitteeunderthechairmanshipofSecretary(HE),MinistryofEducation(MoE).Thetermsof

reference of the Committee were to suggest a reliable, transparent and authentic National Framework for

performance measurement and ranking of institutions of higher education and to recommend institutional

mechanisms,processes and timelines for implementationof theNational InstitutionalRankingFramework.The

frameworkwasgivenafinalshapesubsequenttointensediscussionsanddeliberationsduringaseriesofmeetingsof

theCommitteeandexchangeswithpeersandstakeholdersmainlythroughonlinediscussions.

AcommonOverallrankingwasintroducedforinstitutionsthathaveaminimumof1,000studentsfromtheyear2017

onwards in addition to the category-specific and domain-specific rankings so as to provide a common view of

comparable institutions across categories and disciplines. This practice is being continued for past four years

includingthecurrentyear. Intheyear2016,rankingswereannouncedforUniversitiesandforthedisciplinesof

Engineering,ManagementandPharmacy.In2017,inadditiontothesefourrankings,theOverallranking,andranking

ofGeneralDegreeCollegeswereintroducedforthefirsttime.Intheyear2018and2019,whilecontinuingwithabove

mentioned six rankings, three domain-specific rankings in the fields of Law, Medicine and Architecture were

introduced.Intheyear2018-19,rankingwerecarriedoutforthreeCategory-specificRankings(Overall,Universities

andColleges)andsixDomain-SpecificRankings.In2020,theNIRFcontinuedwithalltheninerankings,inaddition

onemoredomain-specificrankingwasalsocarriedoutforDentalinstitutions.Agriculturalinstitutionswerenot

rankedthisyearasdesiredbyIndianCouncilofAgriculturalResearch(ICAR)astheyhaveinitiatedtheirownranking

foragricultureinstitutions.

ThespiritoftheRankingFrameworkandParametersoriginallyidentifiedbytheCoreCommitteeandusedforIndia

Rankings for past four years is being retained for the year 2020. A few changes have beenmade based on the

experiencegained in theprocessof rankingof institutions inprevious fouryearsand further tweakingofa few

parametersandmetricsbasedonthefeedbacksoughtfromheadsoftheinstitutions(seepoint4below).

2. NIRF Parameters for Ranking of Institutions of Higher Education

The NIRF provides for ranking of institutions in five broad generic groups of parameters, namely: i) Teaching, Learning and

Resources; ii) Research and Professional Practice; iii) Graduation Outcomes; iv) Outreach and Inclusivity; and v)

Perception. Fig. 1 provides an outline of the various sub-parameters for each of the five generic groups. Some of the sub-

parameter (such as public perception, earnings from patents, etc.) have been dropped due to serious questions of reliability or

consistency of data provided by the participating institutions..

TheNIRFenvisagedseparaterankingsfordifferentcategoriesandsubjectdomains.Assuch,category-specificand

domain-specific frameworks were drafted for every category and subject domain based on the broad

recommendations of the National Institutional Ranking Framework. Frameworks for Universities, Colleges,

Engineering,PharmacyandArchitecturewerereleasedin2015.Frameworksfornewdomainsandcategorieswere

draftedatthetimeoftheirinductionforranking.TheMinistryalsoappointedanImplementationCoreCommittee(ICC)
