The Framework was approved by the MHRD and launched by the Minister of Human Resource Development on 29 September 2015.
Depending on their areas of operation, institutions have been ranked under 11 different categories – overall, university, colleges, engineering, management, pharmacy, law, medical, architecture, dental and research.
The Framework uses several parameters for ranking purposes like resources, research, and stakeholder perception.
These parameters have been grouped into five clusters and these clusters were assigned certain weightages. The weightages depend on the type of institution. About 3500 institutions voluntarily participated in the first round of rankings.
