Further reveals the cut-off, exam, and fees for the chosen course from a broader perspective. Another most important parameter IIT aspirants view is the Return on Investment, ROI levied on the student when pursuing the technological courses at the IIT campus. 


NIRF has been built on standard rules and regulations that determine the ranking of the IITs within a framework. The institution picks up top-ranking universities and colleges of different streams and publishes them in categories of various streams such as Medicine, Engineering, Arts, Humanities, and so on. The ranking procedures include institutional support to disciplines at work, student and faculty performance, ease of governance, graduation enrollment from outside the state, within the state, and overseas centers, and, in addition, the degree of inclusiveness of the universities. 


To prepare the ranking list, NIRF compiles information from various sources based on a predefined questionnaire and adopts specific methodologies and metrics to generate the output report. NIRF ranks institutions based on five broad generic parameters: teaching, learning, resources, research and consulting and collaboration, graduation outcome, outreach and inclusivity, and perception. Such a report becomes the basis for the JEE advanced aspirants to choose the institution and trade suitable for them.
