The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) Rankings 2024 were released today and can be accessed on the official website of NIRF at nirfindia.org.

A total of 10,885 institutes participated in the ninth edition of the NIRF Ranking Framework, a 200% increase since the first edition in 2016.

This is the sixth year that IIT Madras has maintained its top position in both the 'Overall' and 'Engineering' categories in the NIRF Rankings. It has been ranked first in the engineering category every year since the inception of the rankings in 2016.

Also, maintaining the order of the previous year, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru has once again secured the top position among universities in the NIRF rankings 2024, while JNU and Jamia Millia Islamia follow in the second and third spots.

IISc Bangalore has also been recognised as the second-best institution in the 'overall' category.

NIRF RANKING CATEGORIES AND CHANGES

The latest NIRF rankings include three new categories: Open Univeristies, Skill Universities, State Public Universities (state-funded government universities). Last year, the categories only comprised: Overall, Colleges, Universities, and Research Institutions.

The subject domains now consist of Engineering, Management, Pharmacy, Law, Medical, Architecture and Planning, Dental, and Agriculture and Allied Sectors.

Two criteria changes were also implemented this year – for medical colleges, the faculty vs student ratio was changed from 1:15 to 1:10, and for state-funded government institutes, it was changed from 1:20 to 1:15.

"Considering the rising importance of carbon neutrality and sustainability, a Sustainability Ranking will also be launched next year," said Anil Sahasrabuddhe, Chairman of NBA (National Board of Accreditation) which prepares the NIRF.
