While, in comparison, State public universities didn&#8217;t receive adequate financial resources. This is after the fact, that out of total school enrolment, the number of graduates is largest in the state public universities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No level playing field:\u00a0<\/strong> State-run HEI often struggles with the resources. Also, no cost-benefit analysis of State versus centrally funded HEI was done by any agency on economic indicators like return on investment government made into them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Parameters:\u00a0<\/strong>State-run HEI is also lagging among the different parameters on which NIRF ranked. These parameters are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Adequate faculty strength, Learning and resources: <\/strong>This is because of continuous retirement, and low recruitment, which further weakened the student-teacher ratio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Research and Professional Practice:\u00a0<\/strong>Laboratories of State-run HEI are often lacking in modernized infrastructure and also not meeting the market demand.<\/p>\n<p>Also, in spite of more share of Ph.D. students (29.8%) in State-Run HEI in comparison with institutes of National Importance(23.2%), central universities(13.6%), fewer funds have been received by them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emerging Technologies: <\/strong>State HEIs are struggling to embrace emerging technologies involving artificial intelligence, machine learning etc, while CFI has this facility.<\/p>\n<p>So, NIRF should plan an appropriate mechanism to rate the output and the performance of institutes in light of their constraints and the resources available to them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:\u00a0<\/strong>This post is based on the article &#8220;<strong>Recast this apples-and-oranges ranking method&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>published in\u00a0<strong>The Hindu\u00a0<\/strong>on\u00a0<strong>4th December 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News:\u00a0Ranking of state-run Higher Education Institutes (HEI) with centrally funded institutes (CFI) like IIT&#8217;s under the National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF) is not a good step.
