NIRF Rankings: A Flawed System for Evaluating Indian Education? 🤔 NIRF'24 Is becoming unjustified Key Issues: 1. Misalignment of Metrics 📊 → Crude statistics over qualitative assessment → One-size-fits-all approach for diverse institutions 2. Research Conundrum 📚 → Quantity over quality → Predatory journals still count?! 3. The 'Perception' Paradox 👀 → Subjective criterion based on surveys → Potential for bias and manipulation 4. Overlooked Factors 🕵️ → Curriculum relevance → Industry-academia collaboration → Student achievements beyond academics 5. Placement Metrics Mismatch 💼 → Focus on percentage placed, not quality of placements → Favors mass recruiters over niche, high-value placements 6. Weighting Woes ⚖️ → Who decides parameter importance? → Does it align with stakeholder priorities?
