Thrissur: In a groundbreaking move, Kerala has introduced a ranking system for higher education institutions within the state, aimed at promoting academic excellence.

The Kerala Ranking 2024, recently announced by Higher Education Minister R Bindu, is designed to guide students in selecting institutions based on the quality of education they offer. This marks the first time any Indian state has implemented such a comprehensive ranking system for its higher education institutions.

The Kerala Institutional Ranking Framework (KIRF) has been developed along the lines of the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), also incorporating state-specific criteria. A dedicated portal (www.kirf.kshec.org) has also been launched to facilitate the ranking process.

A total of 449 higher education institutions, including universities and colleges across various streams, participated in this year’s rankings. Among the 29 nursing colleges in Kerala, only the Government Nursing College in Thiruvananthapuram has secured a place in the rankings.
