The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), evaluates universities and institutions based on key parameters such as "Teaching, Learning, and Resources (TLR)," "Research and Professional Practices (RPP)," "Graduation Outcomes (GO)," "Outreach and Inclusivity (OI)," and "Perception (PR)." The study examines the top 100 Engineering institutes of NIRF 2023, focusing on their major parameter categories and their effectiveness in ranking processes. The study will be useful to the engineering institutes to clearly understand the areas of improvement and to have an action plan for better rankings. Descriptive statistics reveal that among five major categories RPP & PR and in the sub-parameters Financial Resources and their Utilisation (FRU), Footprint of Projects and Professional Practice (FPPP), Metric for Number of Ph. D. Students Graduated(GPHD), and Economically and Socially Challenged Students (ESCS) have the lowest effectiveness among others, indicating their minimal contribution in the total score. Consequently, Institutes must focus on enhancing these parameters to enhance their total score and position in the NIRF rankings. The analysis of histograms and descriptive statistics reveals that 75% of ranked institutions score below 60% in RPP and PR parameters, indicating suboptimal performance in perception and research aspects. The study also highlights the importance of prioritizing efforts to improve RPP and PR scores to enhance the overall performance and rankings of engineering institutions in NIRF, as TLR, GO, and OI show relatively consistent performance.

Abstract


The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), evaluates universities and institutions based on key parameters such as "Teaching, Learning, and Resources (TLR)," "Research and Professional Practices (RPP)," "Graduation Outcomes (GO)," "Outreach and Inclusivity (OI)," and "Perception (PR)." The study examines the top 100 Engineering institutes of NIRF 2023, focusing on their major parameter categories and their effectiveness in ranking processes. The study will be useful to the engineering institutes to clearly understand the areas of improvement and to have an action plan for better rankings. Descriptive statistics reveal that among five major categories RPP & PR and in the sub-parameters Financial Resources and their Utilisation (FRU), Footprint of Projects and Professional Practice (FPPP), Metric for Number of Ph. D. Students Graduated(GPHD), and Economically and Socially Challenged Students (ESCS) have the lowest effectiveness among others, indicating their minimal contribution in the total score. Consequently, Institutes must focus on enhancing these parameters to enhance their total score and position in the NIRF rankings. The analysis of histograms and descriptive statistics reveals that 75% of ranked institutions score below 60% in RPP and PR parameters, indicating suboptimal performance in perception and research aspects. The study also highlights the importance of prioritizing efforts to improve RPP and PR scores to enhance the overall performance and rankings of engineering institutions in NIRF, as TLR, GO, and OI show relatively consistent performance.
