About measuring methodology
India’s any institute can’t find a place under the Top 300 in the world’s best institutes in any field. So, in 2016 India itself made their own list for all universities in India to be ranked. In this list, IIT Madras is at the top for the last 4 consecutive years. The measuring methodology is used called the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF).
Parameters to measure the ranking in NIRF
- Teaching (T)
- Learning (L)
- Resources (R)
1. Teaching (T)
Teaching is one of the important parameters to measure ranking. Teachers play a crucial role in constructing students’ futures. The quality of teacher teaching in the college defines how good a college can be. The way a teacher is teaching and the way they are explaining to students. The technique they are telling to solve the problem is also taken in the parameter.
2. Learning (L)
Learning is another parameter to measure the ranking of the institution. In this parameter, the learning process is the main aspect and by what technique the students are getting the education. The use of technology and teaching the positive effect of technology in the future world is too important. So, teaching them is too important..
3. Resources (R)
Resources are the parameters in which the main focus is to see what types of resources the students and teachers are getting by the faculty. What types of labs are present and their equipment and all the necessary things.
Research and Professional Practise
NIRF also determines what research and Professional practice are done by the students and teachers. The quality of research is also undertaken and what are the results are coming from the research. Research and Professional practice always work to uplift the institute.
Graduation Outcomes
Graduation outcomes is a statical survey that is taken after 15 months of the completion of the higher studies. Its main motive is to see, what are the outcomes on the basis of employment and the value of higher education and qualification.
On the basis of this report, anyone can say what type of quality and outcomes are there to complete higher education from that institute.
Outreach and Inclusivity
In this parameter, there are certain point which is taken –
- What per cent of the students are coming from other states or other countries and this is called Region diversity (RD).
- Percentage of women (Women Diversity [WD]).
- Economically and Socially challenged students (ESCS).
- Facilities for physically challenged students (PCS).
- Perception Ranking (PR).
