The National Institutional Ranking Framework (www.nirfindia.org), created by the Ministry of Human Resources Development, Govt. of India in 2015, outlines a methodology to rank institutions across the country. The parameters used for ranking broadly cover “Teaching, Learning and Resources,” “Research and Professional Practices,” “Graduation Outcomes,” “Outreach and Inclusivity,” and “Perception”.
“The top rank is a reflection of the commitment of the faculty, staff and students of IIT Madras towards fulfilling the objectives of the Strategic Plan 2020 that we have set for ourselves”, said Prof. Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Director, IIT Madras. The IIT Madras Strategic Plan (www.iitm.ac.in/content/strategic-plan) spells out quantified targets for all key pillars of the Institute.
