These institutions have made significant strides in the engineering education landscape, with a particular emphasis on research, employability, and the integration of industry practices into their curricula.
Four categories of IIRF Engineering Rankings 2024
The IIRF Rankings are widely respected for their meticulous and comprehensive evaluation process. Each institution is assessed on a range of critical factors, ensuring that the rankings are both fair and thorough. For 2024, the IIRF Engineering Rankings have been divided into four key categories:
- Best Engineering Colleges in India (Government)
- Best Engineering Colleges in India (Private)
- Top Private Engineering Colleges (Good in Ph.D. Enrollment & Research)
- Top Private Engineering Colleges (Good for Employability & Innovation)
These categories have been introduced to provide a more nuanced understanding of the strengths of each institution, allowing prospective students, educators, and policymakers to make well-informed decisions based on specific areas of interest and expertise.
Seven Key Parameters of Evaluation
The IIRF Engineering Rankings 2024 are based on seven meticulously defined parameters, each contributing to the overall assessment of an institution’s performance:
- Placement Performance (PP)
- Teaching Learning Resources & Pedagogy (TLRP)
- Research (Volume, Income, and Reputation) (RS)
- Industry Income and Integration (III)
- Placement Strategies & Support (PSS)
- Future Orientation (FO)
- External Perception & International Outlook (EPIO)
