The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) is a system launched by the Honorable Minister of Human Resource Development (Government of India) in 2015 to rank educational institutions across the country. The NIRF ranks institutions across the country based on various parameters. Here are a few parameters considered by NIRF while ranking the colleges:

 

• Teaching, Learning, and Resources: The NIRF considers the teaching, learning, and resources available in an institute. The student-teacher ratio, teacher qualifications, and infrastructure are the factors taken into consideration while ranking.
  
  
• Research and Professional Practice: The NIRF checks the number of research output, the quality of research, and published projects
  
  
• Graduation Outcomes: The success of students after their graduation is considered. The NIRF notes the percentage of candidates who successfully completed their degrees and their placements in jobs.
  
  
• Outreach and Inclusivity: Under this section, the NIRF checks the inclusion of candidates from different backgrounds and regions across India. It also considers the facilities provided for the physically-challenged students.
  
  
• Perception: The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) also gathers the perceptions and opinions of employers and the general public through a survey to rank the institutions.
