The University has also bagged an overall ranking of 71 among more than 4000 institutions (including universities, IITs etc.) ranked by the MHRD under NIRF, the results on the NIRF website reveal.

About 4500 institutes had submitted their details for ranking by NIRF this year. At the event unveiling the rankings for 2018, Javadekar also said that it would be mandatory for public institutes to participate in the ranking framework from next year, according to NDTV.

“And, those public institutions which will not take part in it will face fund cut,” he said.

The University of Kashmir had last year figured at 73rd rank. This time however, it has surpassed Jammu University which was recently accorded the autonomous status by the MHRD. JU has in this year’s NIRF figured at overall rank of 77, with rank at 51 among the universities’ category, the NIRF website reveals.
