Why the Rankings? The Government has decided to introduce a system of ranking educational institutions in India in order to establish a uniform criteria for ranking them. Until now, only private organisations were coming out with their annual list of rankings but this raised several questions regarding the criteria applied, with many institutions questioning the rankings itself. Thus far, students have had to rely on "popular perception" about institutions, in the absence of any fair system of evaluation and ranking. The government has stepped into this space to try and establish a fair and transparent methodology that considers several parameters before establishing the institution’s rank in the respective category. The Criteria Applied A total of 1,875 educational institutions have participated in this ranking exercise for 2022. The aim was to include all educational institutions that have an enrolment of more than 1,000 students or those that are funded by the central government. This exercise has been carried out since 2015. An institution is ranked on parameters like teaching learning & resources, research and professional practice, graduation outcome, outreach & inclusivity and perception; here are certain sub-criteria of evaluation that have been revised to include: Research Impact Earlier the number of research papers published per faculty, along with citations per paper, was a major criteria of evaluation. Now, the ‘research impact’ of the paper along with the number of ‘highly cited’ papers have been included, to arrive at an improved metric of evaluation. This has negated the impact of those institutions that gave high weightage to the number of publications but not its research impact value. Percentile System Negated The earlier ‘percentile’ system has been removed and higher weightage has been given to the number of publications, research impact, citations, highly cited papers and patent information, to arrive at a better and more accurate system of evaluation. Perception Inputs Database Widened The perception of the institution has been widened to include industry and academic peers, the number and level of employers, in addition to general students and the public, to arrive at the perception index ranking. System Still Not Perfect Although this ranking system is still not perfect and needs further improvement. For instance, St. Stephen's College in New Delhi, one of the most popular and sought-after colleges declined to participate in the rankings, which leaves the list incomplete. But still, the process of ranking these institutions ensures that they are ranked according to their efficiencies and not for some other reason. It is evident from the prepared list as the popular University of Delhi was unable to secure a position in the Top 10 Universities of 2022 and is ranked 13th. Therefore, for now, students, academicians, employers and all other stakeholders can rely on this list as the most credible rankings available in the country.
