These include research institutions, universities, engineering, management, pharmacy, colleges, medical, law, architecture, and dental schools. The following parameters are used to compile the NIRF ranking list: teaching, learning, and resources, research and professional practise, graduation outcomes, outreach and inclusivity, and peer perception.
