#8 Comparison for Frameworks

summarized comparison table of proposed university ranking framework versus major international frameworks like QS, THE (Times Higher Education), and NIRF (India’s ranking system) — designed for students or general audiences:


Parameter Category Proposed Framework QS Ranking THE Ranking NIRF (India)
Teaching & Learning Faculty quality, pedagogy, student outcomes (SOE) Academic reputation, faculty/student ratio, citations per faculty Teaching environment, staff-to-student ratio, teaching reputation Teaching, Learning & Resources (TLR) including faculty, labs
Research & Innovation Research quality, patents, startups, interdisciplinary projects (RIIC) Research reputation, citations per faculty Research volume, income, reputation Research & Professional Practice (RPP), publications, IPR
Student Outcome & Employability Exam results, placements, OBE outcomes, higher studies (SOE) Graduate employability, employer reputation Industry income, knowledge transfer Graduation Outcome (GO), public exams, placements
Inclusivity & Outreach Diversity, facilities for disadvantaged, alumni engagement (IAO) International faculty & students, diversity International outlook, diversity of staff/students Outreach & Inclusivity (OI), diversity & disadvantaged groups
Perception & Trust Peer rating, student feedback, transparency (PTI) Academic & employer reputation surveys Reputation surveys, peer review Perception (PR) – peer rating & application ratio

Key Points:

  • Proposed Framework puts extra focus on pedagogy, OBE-based assessment, and innovation outputs (startups, MOOCs).

  • QS and THE emphasize global reputation and citations, with strong weight on research impact.

  • NIRF more bias towards research and perception, tailored for Indian context with some drawbacks.

  • Proposed model SIRF aims to reduce bias by adding transparency, student feedback, and data integrity explicitly.
