With the addition of three categories, i.e. Open Universities, State Public Universities and Skill Universities, the existing portfolio of India Rankings has increased to 16 categories and subject domains that have been ranked in India Rankings 2024.
During the maiden year of India Rankings 2016, rankings were announced for Universities as well as for three domain-specific rankings, namely Engineering, Management and Pharmacy. Over the period of nine years, seven new categories and five new subject domains were added to bring the total tally to eight categories, namely Overall, Universities, Colleges, Research Institutions, State Public Universities, Open Universities, Skill Universities and Innovation Institutions and 8 subject domains, namely Engineering, Management, Pharmacy, Architecture & Planning, Medical, Law, Dental and Agriculture and Allied Sectors.
Five Broad Categories of Parameters and Weightage
The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), launched in November 2015 by the Ministry of Education, was used for this edition as well as for the previous eight editions of India Rankings released for the years 2016 to 2023.
Five broad categories of parameters identified in the NIRF and their weightage on scale of 10 are given below:
| Sl.
No. |
Parameter | Marks | Weightage |
| 1 | Teaching, Learning & Resources | 100 | 0.30 |
| 2 | Research and Professional Practice | 100 | 0.30 |
| 3 | Graduation Outcome | 100 | 0.20 |
| 4 | Outreach and Inclusivity | 100 | 0.10 |
| 5 | Perception | 100 | 0.10 |
Each of these five parameters have 2 to 5 sub-parameters. A total number of 18 parameters are used for ranking of HEIs in different categories and subject domains. Institutions are ranked based on total sum of marks assigned for each of these five broad groups of parameters.
Besides, sourcing data on various parameters from applicant institutions, third party sources of data have also been used, wherever possible. Scopus (Elsevier Science) and Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) were used for retrieving publications and citations data. Derwent Innovation was used for retrieving data on patents. Data retrieved from these sources was shared with the institutions for transparency with a provision to give their inputs.
