Centre to rank top 500 institutes from August

KOLKATA: The ministry of human resource development (MHRD) will rank top 500 institutes in the country from next month. A committee with members from IIT, IIM, IISER, JNU, The English and Foreign Languages University, Andhra Pradesh and CII and FICCI representatives have already worked out the ranking matrix based on an eight-point criteria for engineering and sciences. 

These criteria will be uploaded on the website and the participating institutes will have to send data under each category. Anybody can check the information supplied and raise objections in case they find them untrue. "There will be automated validation as well as physical checks. After the success of the pilot run, the ranking may be divided into urban and rural India," a committee member said. 

The draft proposal for science, which includes parameters like teaching-learning, infrastructure, academic and performance, has got a go-ahead from the ministry. A similar matrix is on the cards for rating of courses in arts, economics and social sciences, medicine, law, management/business administration, hotel management and mass/visual communication. The committee will start work on a pilot project that will be later extended to 33,000 odd institutes.
