NEW DELHI: Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister of Education, Government of India, has released the ranking of higher educational institutes of India called India Rankings 2022, on Friday, July 15.
The Ministry of Education launched the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), in 2015, which is also used for the India Rankings. The practice is being followed since 2016, when the first edition of India Rankings was released.
In the overall institutions ranking, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) – Madras and Indian Institute of Science (IISc) – Bangalore has retained their top position in the rankings. While IIT-Bombay, IIT-Delhi and IIT-Kanpur have secured third, fourth and fifth place, respectively.
While in the university rankings Indian Institute of Science, Jawaharlal Nehru University, and Jamia Milia Islamia has secured first, second and third rank, respectively.
In the college rankings, Miranda House stands at the top followed by Hindu College in second place and Presidency College in third place.
In India Rankings 2022, the performance of higher educational institutions (HEI) is assessed based on five parameters, i.e. teaching learning & resources, research and professional practice, graduation outcomes, outreach and inclusivity, and perception. Each of these parameters consists of parameters ranging from 2 to 5, and a total of 18-21 sub-parameters are used for ranking HEI in different categories and subject domains. This year, however, two new sub-parameters have been added under ”Research Institution”. These two sub-parameters are, Research Papers Published in Journals and Covered in the First Quartile of Journal Citation Report (JCRQI) and H-Index. HEIs are given a score out of 100, in each parameter and institutions are ranked on the basis of their total scores across all parameters.
