The Union Minister of Human
Resource Development, Shri Prakash Javadekar , released the India Rankings
2017 for the Educational Institutions and dedicated it to the nation in
New Delhi today. Speaking on the occasion he said that this step is a sequel
of our Government’s commitment towards bringing landmark changes in the
quality of education provided to students across the country for which we are
working relentlessly. Shri Javadekar said this ranking is meant to have
beginning of a fair competition among the institutions for achieving excellence
in their efforts. This has recorded success beyond any doubt and is bound to
march ahead.
The Minister said so far no
one has raised fingers on the ranking charted out by the National Institutional
Ranking Framework (NIRF), working under his Ministry. And this has proved its
worth on the stipulated Parameters. He said until now NAAC and NBA used to
assess Educational Institutions but now in our government this is the unique
modification for bringing transparency and credibility. He said besides
institutions now parents and students will also have worth information’s about
the ranking and quality of a particular university, college or vocational
institution. This has led to the global scaling up of our credentials.
The Minister on this
occasion also announced that government will extend more help to quality
education institutions. It’s a vital change of policy and will motivate all the
institutions to perform and excel. Factors regarding number of research papers
submitted, patents obtained and campus placement figures will also count for
seeking government support. He said importance to public perception, employer
perception and academic perception will also be accorded.
Dr. Mahendra Nath Pandey
Minister of State (HRD) in his address said this exercise has evoked a sense
of Transparency and accountability and the sole purpose is to march ahead for
quality education.
Secretary Higher, Education
Shri K.K. Sharma elaborating ‘INDIA RANKINGS 2017’ said that in this second
edition of India Rankings, a total of 2995 institutions have participated this time.
This includes 232 Universities, 1024 Engineering Institutions, 546 Management
Institutions, 318 Pharmacy Institutions and 637 General Degree Colleges, and
others. Many of these have participated in multiple disciplines, adding to a
total of 3319 participants across disciplines.
“India
Rankings 2017” have ranked institutions in the disciplines/categories mentioned
above, and have also provided a common overall rank across all disciplines for
those institutes which either have more than 1000 enrolled students, or which
are centrally funded.
The
parameters used for India Rankings 2017 are broadly similar to those used last
year. However, at the level of detail, some of the sub-parameters have been
tweaked for a more robust system of rankings. In particular for evaluating Research
Impact, parameters for quality of publications have been enhanced to
include the number of highly cited papers, in addition to the usual
parameters of publications per faculty and citations per paper. Innovations
have also been made in improving the scoring metrics, where the “percentile”
metric has been replaced by a more discriminating metric. All research related
information, including publications, citations, highly cited papers and even
patent information about institutes was collected from third party databases
(from our Industry partners) to obtain an objective and unbiased picture. For
this year’s Perception inputs, a large data base of academic and
Industry peers and employers was deployed, in addition to getting inputs from
members of general public. Finally, some provision has also been made for the
scale of Operations of an institute in terms of the size of its student
Population and graduated doctoral students, he added.
Shri
Sharma said that the data received from both institutional and third party
sources were subject to extensive scrutiny for consistency and correctness by a
team of experts. As per the declared time-schedule, the rankings are being
announced on the first Monday of April. The Rankings List includes 100
institutions each in the Overall, University, Engineering and General College
Categories, and 50 each in Management and Pharmacy Disciplines. Additional
rankings in suitably bunched forms are also being provided.
Although
the Central Government funded institutions, in general continue to do well,
some of the state-funded universities also are prominent. Some private
institutions and universities have also been quietly climbing up to take high
positions, thus offering value for money to their students, going by their
ranks. Some of these institutions have consistently maintained or improved
their positions of last year, clearly indicating that it was not a one-time
fluke event. This is clearly a satisfying development in Higher Education.
Finally,
a very exciting Feature of this year’s Rankings is the ranking of General
Degree Colleges in Arts and Sciences from across the country. While many of the
names appearing in the top-100 list are well known and famous, there are many
others who may not be so well known but have fared well. Clearly these need to
be watched out for in future. There are also a few notable absentees here as
also in other categories, due to their non-participation. We hope that there
will be more enthusiastic participation in the years to come, he added.
