The education ministry said that the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), launched on September 29, 2015 and the first ranking came in 2016.

Several improvements in data collection formats, metrics and comparison methodology were adopted and put in practice for India Rankings over the past eight years, the ministry official added.
According to the education ministry the practice of pre-registration of institutions that had participated in India Rankings in previous year, was continued this year also. Moreover, new institutions were invited to participate in the ranking exercise through an open advertisement.
A total number of 5,543 unique institutions responded and offered themselves for ranking under "Overall", category-specific or domain-specific rankings. In all, 8,686 applications for ranking were made by these 5,543 unique applicant institutions under various categories or subject domains.
