NIRF India 2022 Rankings: The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), which was introduced in November 2015, assigns grades to Indian educational institutions based on five broad criteria: teaching, learning, and resources; research and professional practise; graduation outcomes; outreach and inclusivity; and perception.
Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced this year’s National Institute Ranking Framework, saying that a strong and consistent system for evaluation, certification, and ranking will play a significant role in raising the quality of higher education (NIRF).
The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), which was introduced in November 2015, assigns grades to Indian educational institutions based on five broad criteria: teaching, learning, and resources; research and professional practise; graduation outcomes; outreach and inclusivity; and perception.
Even though the NIRF is a very new organisation, the fact that only universities and colleges with an NAAC grade or NIRF ranking qualify for inclusion on the University Grants Commission list for receiving funding indicates the relevance of the NIRF.
