Teaching, Learning & Resources (HR) Ranking

Ranking weight: 0.30

Overall Assessment Metric:
TLR = SS (20) + FSR (30) + FQE (20) + FRU (30)

Component metrics based on :

1. Student Strength including Ph.D. Students (SS): 20 Marks

   • SS = f(NT, NE) × 15 + f(NP) × 5

   • The functions f(NT ,NE) and f(Np) are functions to be determined by NIRF.

   • NT: Total sanctioned approved intake in the institution considering all UG and PG programs of the institution.

   • NE: Total number of students enrolled in the institution considering all UG and PG Programs of the institution.

   • Np = Total number of students enrolled for the doctoral program till previous academic year.

   • Primary Data: To be provided in a prescribed Format.

2. Faculty-Student Ratio with emphasis on permanent faculty (FSR): 30 marks

   • FSR = 30 × [15 × (F/N)]

   • N =NT+ Np

   • F: Full time regular faculty in the institution in the previous year.

   • Regular appointment means Faculty on Full time basis. Faculty on contract basis/ad-hoc basis will be considered if the concerned faculty has taught in both the semesters of academic year 2021-22.

   • Faculty members with Ph.D. and M.E./M.Tech. will be considered and counted here. Faculty member with a Bachelor’s degree will not be counted.

   • Expected ratio is 1:15 to score maximum marks.

   • For F/N < 1: 50, FSR will be set to zero.

   • Primary Data: To be provided in a prescribed Format.

3. Combined metric for Faculty with PhD (or equivalent) and Experience (FQE): 20 marks

   • FQ = 10 × (FRA/95) , FRA < 95%;

   • FQ = 10, FRA ≥ 95%.

   • F: Full time regular faculty in the institution in the previous year.

   • Here FRA is the percentage of Faculty with Ph.D. (or equivalent qualification) with respect to the total no. of faculty required or actual faculty whichever is higher, in the previous year.
     F1=Fraction with Experience up to 8 years;
     F2= Fraction with Experience between 8+ to 15 years;
     F3=Fraction with Experience > 15 years.

   • FE = 3min(3F1, 1) + 3 min(3F2, 1) + 4 min(3F3, 1)
     Rationale: Full marks for a ratio of 1:1:1

   • FQE = FQ + FE

   • Primary Data: To be provided in a prescribed Format.

4. Financial Resources and their Utilisation (FRU): 30 Marks

   • FRU = 7.5×f(BC) + 22.5×f(BO)

   • BC: Average Annual Capital Expenditure per student for previous three years pertaining to engineering discipline only. (Excluding expenditure on construction of new buildings)

   • BO: Average Annual Operational(or Recurring) Expenditure per student for previous three years pertaining to engineering discipline only. (Excluding maintenance of hostels and allied services)

   • Primary Data: To be provided in a prescribed Format.
