Understanding the Parameters of NIRF Ranking

  • Teaching, Learning & Resources (TLR): Teaching, learning, and resources (TLR) is the first parameter of the NIRF rankings, which includes the resources of the academic and research level of any university. This ensures that the qualification of the faculty is up to par, and students can access the learning materials or resources easily. 
  • Research and Professional Practice (RP): The second parameter of the NIRF ranking is research and professional practices (RP), which helps the NIRF to evaluate the university's professional goals and research output. The professional growth of the universities depends on the management and faculty. So, this parameter will clarify the outcomes of research and professionalism in one go.
  • Graduation Outcomes (GO): Graduation outcomes (GO) are a crucial parameter for not only NIRF but students as well. This parameter helps students to choose the best universities as it consists of the success rate of students from a university. Graduation outcomes further measure the capacity of a University to provide students with good career opportunities and transform them for the good in this challenging world.
  • Outreach and Inclusivity (OI): In the second last parameter, NIRF ranks universities by their efforts in the growth of underrepresented groups such as women, minorities, the physically challenged, and the left-out communities. The OI parameter is all about the growth of outreach groups in India.
  • Peer Perception (PR): Last but not least, peer perception (PR) includes the reputation of the university and its standing in the academic and professional university world. This parameter consists of surveys and preferences.  

Top Online Universities in India 

As the need for students to have multiple skills while pursuing a degree, they must invest their precious time in a course that provides them flexibility and recognition similar to traditional degrees. Online degree courses come as a savior for these students and working professionals.

Online courses in India provide the same recognition as regular and distance with the online mode of education. Nowadays, online degree courses are becoming the first choice of students because of their flexibility, cost efficiency, and recognition. 

However, in the 2025 list of NIRF, many universities that provide online degree courses have scored a lot better than the regular and distance colleges.

Universities like MAHE: with a 4th Score of 67.18, Amrita: with a 7th Score of 65.73, Chandigarh: with a 20th Score of 59.96, Amity: with a 32nd Score of 56.14, DY Patil Pune: 44th Score of 54.59 have shown that the online courses provided by these universities ranked well this year.
