From next
month the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) will rank the top 500
institutes in the country. There will be an eight point ranking matrix based
criteria for Engineering and Sciences which has been already worked out by a
committee with the members from IIT, IIM, IISER, JNU, The English and Foreign
Languages University, Andhra Pradesh and CII and FICCI representatives.
The
participating institutes will have to send their data according to each
category which will be uploaded on the website. The given data can be accessed
by anybody and if they find any questionable or untrue matter then they can
raise objections.
A committee
member said, "There will be automated validation as well as physical
checks. After the success of the pilot run, the ranking may be divided into
urban and rural India."
The
ministry has approved the draft proposed for Science which included parameters
like teaching-learning, infrastructure, academic and performance. A similar
kind of matrix is in process for the ratings of courses in arts, economics and
social sciences, medicine, law, management/business administration, hotel
management and mass/visual communication.
The
committee will first start work on a pilot project which later will cater to
33,000 odd institutes.
