How NIRF ranks

NIRF has ranked Indian institutions every year since 2016. Institutions are scored out of 100 on five parameters: Teaching, Learning and Resources (TLR); Research and Professional Practice (RPC); Graduation Outcomes (GO); Outreach and Inclusivity (OI); and Perception. The weight on each parameter differs by category, so an institution can place differently in two lists.

We reproduce the official figures exactly and do not blend NIRF with any other framework. A rank is one input; read the admission route, courses and fees on each institution's own page before you decide.
