8. Computation of Scores and Rankings

Rankings are based on the information and data provided by the institutions. Data on publications and citations have
been taken from standard indexing and citation sources, viz., Scopus (Elsevier Science) and Web of Science (Clarivate

Analytics). Perception data has been compiled from inputs from employers and peers. NIRF Team has done limited
validation of data. NIRF also provided an opportunity to the general public through press advertisement and through
web-portal, to give feedback on the quality and accuracy of data submitted by different institutions. Queries and
comments received from the public were passed on to the concerned institutions for suitable action. However,
responsibility for the accuracy and authenticity of the data lies with the institutions supplying it. Final data are
available on the NIRF portal.

Overall weighted scores and ranks of institutions in different subjects / categories as well as their weighted scores on
five broad generic parameters are given on the NIRF Website at the URL mentioned in the Table entitled “URL of
Ranked Institutions in Various Categories and Subject Domains” given at the last page of this doucment.
