AURC Components

1. NIRF-Ranking
2. QS-Ranking

NIRF Ranking

The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) is one of the important initiatives laid out by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) in 2015 which ranks the Institutions across India on the basis of parameters classified broadly.

1. Teaching Learning and Resources (TLR)
2. Research and Professional Practices (RPP)
3. Graduation Outcomes (GO)
4. Outreach and Inclusivity (OI)
5. Perception (P)

Each of the main head parameters are provided with weightage and maximum of 100 marks. Further under each main parameter is classified into respective sub-parameters.

For more details on NIRF parameters and its sub-heads please visit

QS- Ranking

QS, an elaborative ranking system since 2004 continues to lead innovation in ranking and evaluation of higher education institutions worldwide. QS Rankings are referred to be international organizations such as United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and World Economic Forum (WEF). In Indian context, QS IGAUGE is an India-centric rating system introduced by QS taking into considering the dynamic Indian higher education. The eight indicators used to create the India ranking are:

1. Academic Reputation
2. Employer Reputation
3. Faculty/Student Ratio
4. Staff with a PhD
5. Papers per Faculty
6. Citations per Paper
7. International Faculty
8. International Students

Altogether, the indicators listed above are primarily used to create the INDIA counterpart for QS ranking and also can be used to compute QS-INDIA and QS-ASIA ranking.

The AURC has the responsibility to collect, analyze, compute and maintain the processed information for various sub-parameters pertaining to NIRF and QS ranking based on its respective methodologies. Also, comparative data is drawn for Alagappa University and top ranking Universities/Institutions corresponding to previous ranking years. In this way parameters which needs to be strengthened are consistently analyzed and monitored that will place Alagappa University in top of the ranking charts. Therefore, the AURC team is committed to bring significant improvements in the rankings of Alagappa University.
