The ministry said this year, almost 4,030 institutions had applied for rankings. The institutions are evaluated on their teaching, outreach, graduation outcomes, research and inclusivity, and perception.

This year, a notable improvement in institutional participation in the rankings exercises shows its recognition amongst India's institutions of higher education as a fair and transparent ranking exercise, it said.
