All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) and National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) are two pivotal initiatives in India’s education sector aimed at enhancing the quality and transparency of higher education. AISHE, established by the Ministry of Education, systematically collects and analyzes data on various aspects of higher education institutions across India, helping in informed policy-making and institutional planning. On the other hand, NIRF, also under the Ministry of Education, ranks institutions annually based on a comprehensive set of parameters, including teaching, learning, research, graduation outcomes, outreach, and inclusivity. Together, AISHE and NIRF provide valuable insights and benchmarks that drive continuous improvement and excellence in higher education in India
