Among the NAT 2024 awardees, three are from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) including IIT Delhi, IIT Roorkee, and IIT Indore, and one is from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune. Two professors have been selected from polytechnic institutes. One professor from the Banaras Hindu University is also on the list of selected teachers.

“The selection is based on the performance of the teacher as adjudged against the parameters such as Teaching Learning Effectiveness, Outreach activities, Research and Innovation, Sponsored Research/ Faculty Development Programs/ Consultancy Teaching.
