Helps students find placements in industry and govt, say latest NIRF report
It may have faced flak in recent times over the ongoing impasse on mandatory attendance and online invective over ageing research scholars, but Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) tops all higher educational institutions in the country in terms of students’ success in finding placement in industry and government or in taking up higher studies.
As per the latest National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) report of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, JNU is the only higher educational institution in the country across fields of study with a graduation outcome of 99.12.
The meaning of this success is best gauged from the fact that the graduation outcome of Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, is 85.36 and that of Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, which is India’s top higher educational institution in all surveys, is 75.48.
IIT Bombay has a graduation outcome of 81.53, IIT Kharagpur 83.99 and IIM Calcutta 86.81. Delhi University has a graduation outcome of 85.14 and Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi 82.27.
The NIRF defines the parameter of graduation outcome in the following manner: “This parameter forms the ultimate test of the effectiveness of the core teaching/learning activity, and measures the student graduation rate and their success in finding appropriate placement in industry and government or taking up higher studies.”
Set parameters
The parameter involves an assessment of “combined percentage for placement, higher studies and entrepreneurship (70 marks) and mean salary for employment (30 marks)”.
This is just one of the parameters on which institutions are ranked, the other four being teaching; research, professional practice and collaborative performance; outreach, meaning diversity within the institution; and perception among stakeholders.
Among colleges, St Stephen’s College in Delhi has a graduation outcome of 94.66, while Presidency College in Chennai scores just 35.54 on this count despite being ranked fifth among colleges in India.
While JNU scores a high 79.32 in outreach — signifying student and teacher diversity in terms of inclusion on lines of disability, gender and other social disadvantage — it scores just 46.28 on perception.
IISc Bengaluru scores a perfect 100 on perception but a low 43.70 on outreach.
In terms of overall ranking, IISc is first, IIT Madras second, IIT Bombay third, IIT Delhi fourth, IIT Kharagpur fifth, JNU sixth and IIT Kanpur seventh.
Delhi University stands 14th in rank among all institutions, irrespective of field of study.
