PES College jumps 14 spots on NIRF list

Mysuru: The recently released gradation list for educational institutions by the Union ministry of human resource development (MHRD) in accordance with the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) ushered in some cheer for PES College of Engineering, Mandya, which jumped 14 spots compared to its ranking last year to slot in at 147 among engineering institutions.
HV Ravindra, principal of the college, is incredibly happy with the improvement in the institution’s ranking. Pointing out that, of the 10,000 engineering colleges across India, a mere 1,071 were considered by the MHRD to be rated under the NIRF guidelines. “In the end, only 200 institutions make it to the final list. Among the 21 engineering colleges of Karnataka that have found a place on the list, ours is 17th, which is also an improvement on our last year’s rating, when we stood 18th. The other feather in our cap is that the ratings have placed the college in the 151 to 200 band on the list of colleges offering both engineering and management courses,” said Ravindra, attributing the achievement to the tireless efforts of the staff, and the guidance of the management.
