JNU and Jamia Hold Second and Third Spots on List of Top 10 Universities, While DU Secures a Slot

In accordance with the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2024 announced on August 12, 2024, by the Ministry of Education, Delhi University has secured its position in the list of top 10 universities in India and has come onto the sixth position. Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Jamia Millia Islamia on the same list have secured second and third positions respectively. Delhi University has improved its rank from 11th to 6th this year and has gained a position in the NIRF list of top 10 universities. DU colleges have taken the top three spots, with Hindu College coming in first, Miranda House coming in second, and St. Stephen’s College coming in third.

This year, in the ninth edition of NIRF rankings, three new categories have been launched —open universities, skill universities, and state-funded government universities.

The Vice Chancellor of Delhi University, Mr Yogesh Singh said in the official statement that, “Last year also DU had moved up two places and got 11th position in the university category at the national level…This time, in the overall ranking also DU jumped seven places and got 15th position. This time, the overall rank of DU is 15th whereas last year it had improved by one point to reach the 22nd position. In the research Institute category also, DU improved by three places and secured 14th position this time,”

In the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), institutions are evaluated based on five major parameters: Teaching Learning and Resources (TLR ); Research and Professional Practice (RP); Graduation Outcome (GO); Outreach and Inclusivity (OI); and Perception (PR).

In comparison to the previous year, the varsity showed a little increase in each of the five parameters: perception, TLR, RPC, GO, and OI went from 46.65, 54.30, 97.84, 63.98, and 51.89 in 2023 to 56.75, 56.42, 98.54, 67.57, and 54.75 in 2024.

This year, the JNU has secured 2nd position in the category of “University” and also 10th position in the “overall” category. The perception category at the institution increased significantly from 65.51 in 2023 to 70.39 in 2024.

The Vice Chancellor of JNU, Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit said, “I thank the entire epistemic community for consistently doing very well at national and international rankings…JNU should be given the eminence tag and the grant for infrastructure and research development.”

The Jamia Millia Islamia University has been securing 3rd position for three consecutive years. On this, the Vice Chancellor of Jamia Millia Islamia University, Mohammad Shakeel said, “We are extremely happy to retain the third position for the third consecutive year in NIRF. The credit goes to the hard work of teachers and the discipline of our students. Our non-teaching staff who put their sweat and blood into maintaining the standard of the university also deserve this recognition. Our effort was to retain the position and not slip. It’s easy to reach the top position but difficult to maintain it. Teachers and researchers in our university contributed immensely to achieving this feat by producing quality research. I would like to congratulate all of them.”

This year, Jamia saw a rise in the TLR and the perception categories in the five major categories: from 69.38 and 48.48 in 2023 to 71.29 and 50.85 in 2024.

The evaluation standards have also changed for this year. In medical institutions, the faculty-to-student ratio has been adjusted from 1:15 to 1:10, while in state government universities, it has been increased from 1:15 to 1:20.

Under the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), higher institutions are evaluated based on the following 16 categories: overall, universities, medical, engineering, management, law, architecture and planning, research institutions, colleges, pharmacy, dental, agriculture and allied sectors, state-funded government universities, skill universities, open universities, and innovation.

Last year the number of higher educational institutions who participated in NIRF was less as compared to those who participated this year. Last year the number of institutions was 5,543 whereas this year there were 10,885.
