Ranking of Indian Research Intensive Higher Education Institutions using Multiple Ranking Methodologies a Correlation Analysis

Abstract

This article ranks the same set of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in India using four different ranking methodologies, namely, i) NIRF (Overall): used for Overall category of India Rankings; ii) NIRF (Only Research and Professional Practices parameters); iii) Research Ranking Methodology; a new methodology evolved for ranking of research-intensive institutions under NIRF; and vi) IFQ2A index developed by Spanish group of scientists. The four sets of ranked institutions were obtained using methodologies mentioned above and correlation analysis was carried out on these four sets using Pearson Bivariate Correlation. It was found that a very strong and positive correlation exists between ranking of HEIs using new methodology (R2M) evolved for ranking of research-intensive institutions and ranking by HEIs using IFQ2A Index.

“…When considering the methodological aspect, using Pearson's bivariate correlation coefficient makes it possible to associate the strength and degree of relationship between variables of interest [18]: measures from specific categories such as Social Entrepreneurship, Knowledge Management Practices, organizational aspects, and development. To this extent, although the upward direction of scientific publications in databases on the independently studied variables is relevant-with a predominance in Europe, where there is a more significant number of associated institutions and researchers-there are few studies that address the tripartite relationship between them [19][20][21].…”

“…that also publish university ranking from time to time, but the reliability of these ranking are questioned because only a few universities participate in it, and the primary purpose of these ranking is the publicity of universities for the admission campaign. 4 To overcome these challenges, with the primary aim to provide Indian universities a competitive environment 5 , the National Institution of Ranking Framework (NIRF) was launched by MHRD, Govt. of India in 2015 for the evaluation of Indian institutions, based on the country centric parameters for inclusive and accessible education to encourage the quality.…”
