The NIRF ranking framework was launched in September 2015 to assess the ranks of higher education institutions (HEIs) across the country based on a methodology adopted by the core committee.
Last year, in NIRF ranking 2024, namely, new parameters and methodologies for ranking institutions for ‘Innovation,’ as well as for two additional categories, namely, ‘Open Universities, and ‘State Public Universities,’ were introduced.
The ministry introduced parameters, such as sustainable development goals and indicators of the National Education Policy (NEP 2020), including the Indian Knowledge System (IKS), adoption of regional languages, and multiple entry and exit options.
Why were the NIRF Rankings 2025 delayed?
The NIRF India rankings 2025 were delayed this year due to an interim stay imposed by the Madras High Court . The stay came in response to a petition questioning the transparency of the ranking process and highlighted the discrepancies in the data submitted by colleges.
