National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) is a ranking methodology adopted by the Ministry of Education, Government of India, to rank institutions of higher education in India.
It was approved by the former Ministry of Human Resource Development (now the Ministry of Education) and launched in 2015.
While participation in the NIRF was initially voluntary, it became mandatory in 2018 for all government-run educational institutions.
NIRF ranks the best institutions across 13 categories: overall national ranking, universities, engineering, college, medical, management, pharmacy, law, architecture, dental and research, innovation and agriculture & allied Sectors.
