It can also be observed from Table 18 and Fig. 17 that total research publications of eligible institutions for the years

publications in the field of Engineering. Remaining 6.24% and 0.02% of publications are originated from individuals
and organizations that are not part of the India Rankings in the Engineering subject.

7.2.6. Eligible Institutions with “0” Publications Various Domains / Categories

It may also be noted that a significant number of eligible institutions have no publications at all as revealed in Table 19.
It is noteworthy that 389 management institutions (out of 776 eligible applicant institutions) and 309 colleges (out of
2746 eligible applicant colleges) have “0” publication. This is not surprising since many of these see their primary role
in undergraduate education (colleges) and to a lesser extent, the focus is on “case studies” rather than on research

publications in case of management institutions.
