Jamia Hamdard took the lead among pharmaceutical institutes with National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Mohali, and University Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Chandigarh in the next two positions.
For this year’s ranking, the main parameters remained the same as last year. But there were a few significant changes in a few sub-parameters. Additionally, this year, every large institution was given a common overall rank as well as a disciplinespecific rank.
The parameters on which these institutes were judged included teaching, learning and resources; research and professional practice; graduation outcomes; outreach and inclusivity; and perception. According to the NIRF website, no rankings were announced this year in domains such as architecture, law and medical due to non-representative participation.
