State institutions slip in NIRF
The Hindu
Only CUSAT, IIM Kozhikode and NIT Calicut buck trend
Bringing little to cheer for Kerala, the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) saw most State universities and several prominent colleges drop several rungs. However, the Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) and a few Centrally run institutions, including IIM Kozhikode and NIT Calicut, bucked the trend to provide a silver lining to the dismal show. While Kerala, Mahatma Gandhi, and Calicut universities slipped in the rankings, CUSAT climbed 18 ranks to reach 44 among universities in the country. IIM Kozhikode was ranked the fourth best among B-schools in the country. Despite falling two rungs among engineering colleges, NIT Calicut impressed by becoming the second best among architecture institutes.More Related News
