How can technical education from a university with NIRF Ranking be advantageous to you

NIRF or National Institutional Ranking Framework is a government practice in India that ranks government and private higher educational institutes operating in India based on their performances in certain parameters. NIRF Ranking is a highly nationalized ranking updated each year based on an institutes' performance that enables students to have a clear idea of what they can expect in a college or university. The NIRF ranking is undertaken by the Ministry of Human Resources and Development (MHRD) of India each year.

To make the ranking comprehensive and fair, MHRD has separated groups of institutes based on their field of specializations like management, engineering, pharmacy, architecture, and so on. The NIRF ranking is given based on resources, faculty, research, stakeholder perception, graduation outcome (GO), outreach & Inclusivity (OI), technical education, and some other factors.

A higher NIRF Ranking can drive higher admissions and thus ensures each institute works harder each year to push its rank. In the process, each institute strives to impart quality education, at par with international standards in all fields. On the same note, the ranking also helps a student to determine where education is comparatively better and look beyond false marketing campaigns of many institutes during admission.

The higher the NIRF ranking of an institute, the better quality education it usually provides, for example, IIT Madras is currently ranked 1st by the NIRF followed by Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. Likewise, Class A rankings are given to institutes of national significance such as State Universities, Deemed-to-be Universities, private universities, autonomous universities, and those established by Acts of Parliament. Class B occupies institutes that are under a university and do not enjoy economic independence.

If you know the NIRF ranking before shortlisting institutes for engineering, you can easily have an overview of which institutes have performed better last year. In this way, you can get connected with a prestigious institute and chalk off the less reputed ones. You will therefore enjoy greater opportunities, faculties, education, and privileges in your academic and professional career. To check the NIRF Ranking of an institute, you can visit their official website or look up NIRF's list available on MHRD's website. NIRF Ranking is specifically beneficial for research students and during interviews of graduate and postgraduate students as companies prefer students from mostly the prestigious institutes of the country.

The better the ranking of an institute, the better it is in:

●     Faculty quality

●     Infrastructure

●     Placement records

●     Alumni records

●     Technical education

●     Research opportunities

●     Skilled education

●     Scholarship opportunities

●     Abroad opportunities

●     Learning resources

●     Internships or projects

Therefore, it is advised that before taking admission into any engineering college, visit the website of that institute, and check their NIRF Ranking that is usually present in the About Us section. Alternatively, you can also visit the website of MHRD or NIRF ranking India to obtain the official list and then search for the institutes' name. You can also find separate lists for engineering, pharmacy, architecture, and management institutes in India on MHRD's website which is even better.
