Five Years of India Rankings and its Impact on Performance Parameters of Engineering Educational Institutions in India Pt1 Teaching Learning and Resources Graduate Outcome Outreach and Inclusivity and Perception

Abstract

This article analyses data on five years of India rankings to assess its impact on performance parameters of institutions of higher education on four (out of five) broad categories of parameters, namely i) Teaching, Learningand Resources; ii) Graduation Outcome; iii) Outreach and Inclusivity; and iv) Perception. The analysis on data onfour years of India Rankings, i.e. 2017 to 2020 on various performance parameters of HEIs in engineering discipline provides an interesting insight and reveals that participating institutions are making strenuous effort to improve their performance on various parameters or sub-parameters identified under NIRF. The analyses reflect that performance of remaining eligible institutions has improved on most of the ranking parameters in comparison to the100 top-ranked institutions over a period of four years of ranking, i.e. from 2017-2020.

Application of Lean Manufacturing Concepts to Evolving a Policy for Engineering Education

“…The classification of the HEI of a country allows observing the diversity of purpose, and aspirations of different HEI. Nassa, et al [24] analyse data on five years of Indian rankings to assess their impact on the performance parameters of HEIs in the engineering disciplines on teaching, learning and resources, graduation outcome, outreach, inclusivity, and perception. The authors found that rankings positively influenced the performance of HEIs and could be used as a source of information for guiding policies that are decided according to the needs of the university's environment.…”

“…According to Jalote, Pain, and Sopory [23], it can be suggested that the universities and engineering institutions that they mention in their article have a higher barrier to entry. Moreover, Nassa, et al [24] describe that ranking can play an important role in setting up a culture of competition, creating higher barriers of entry, and working towards improvements in the performance and quality of the academic institution.…”
