One of the biggest changes in the 2025 NIRF framework is the addition of a new category that is focused on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For the first time, NIRF will give negative marks if a research paper is retracted, meaning the paper was taken back because of errors or issues.
The NIRF rankings are a common platform where the Ministry of Education lists the top-performing colleges and universities in the country, both government and private. These rankings are considered some of the most trusted and respected in India. So, if a college earns a spot on the NIRF list, it is a big achievement. Apart from the overall rankings, the NIRF 2025 will also rank institutions in specific fields like engineering, management, law, pharmacy, architecture, medical, dental, and research.
