Senior HRD officials, directors of IITs, IIMs, NITs and representatives of CII and FICCI have been working on the new ranking system and the group is clear on not confusing the ranking system with accreditation that is already being done by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council.

The preliminary news is the institutions will not be a perception based ranking and will focus more on teaching and learning, graduation outcomes and research. The HRD ministry has also mentioned the rankings will be based on six groups. Broadly these will be: academic performance, teaching-learning, learning resources, graduation outcome, global MoUs and impact/innovation done by institutions. Rankings for science, engineering, liberal arts, social sciences, medicine, law and business administration will be done separately.

We will keep you posted on further developments on Indian Higher Education Institutions’ rankings. For any queries you may write to: Shruti.khanna@in.britishcouncil.org
