HRD minister Smriti Irani to roll out ranking framework for Institutions

Updated on: Wednesday, September 30, 2015

The HRD minister Smriti Irani will roll out tomorrow an India-specific ranking framework covering higher educational institutes, in an answer to global ranking agencies where Indian universities and institutes including the IITs have never been able to make the cut.

The ranking framework will be across disciplines which takes into account the perception of an institute, outreach, research activity and inclusivity through reservations.

HRD minister Smriti Irani on Tuesday launched the national institutional ranking framework for educational institutions in the country.

"This will meet the need for a framework that would enable parents, students, teachers, educational institutions and other stakeholders to rank institutions on the basis of a set of objective parameters and a transparent process," HRD minister Smriti Irani said.

The ranking framework has been designed in such a manner that institutions, belonging to different fields like engineering and management, would be compared separately in their own respective peer groups.

The five parameters are teaching, learning and resources; research, consulting and collaborative performance; graduation outcomes; outreach and inclusivity; and perception.

Developed by a team of experts in education and heads of institutions, the portal and the framework is currently available for engineering and management institutions.
