The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) is an initiative by the Ministry of Education, Government of India, to rank higher education institutions across the country. The framework outlines a methodology to rank institutions based on objective parameters such as Teaching, Learning & Resources, Research & Professional Practices, Graduation Outcomes, Outreach & Inclusivity, and Perception. Participating in NIRF rankings helps the institution benchmark its performance, identify areas for improvement, and enhance its reputation at the national and global level.
