It’s been six years since the state kicked off the Gujarat State Institutional Rating Framework (GSIRF). However, only four reports had been submitted under it.

Centre started the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) scheme in 2016. Under that, nine reports were submitted with a recent report released on August 12, 2024.

After the state government initiated GSIRF in 2019, only four reports have been released so far. Last year, a record number of 595 institutions from across the state had enrolled themselves to GSIRF for ranking.

Universities and colleges are given ratings up to five stars based on different parameters.

It has been almost a year since the applications were invited, but the report is yet to be released.

The government had announced in April that the results of the state rating framework would be declared with a ceremony this year as well. 

However, due to the Lok Sabha election code of conduct, the report was expected to be released after the elections.

Five months have passed since the election code of conduct was lifted, but the state government has not yet released the report.

Now, the first semester of 2024-25 is about to end, and the previous report has not yet been released, raising the question,when the applications will be invited for the new 2024-25 report.

The report would have highlighted the performance and shortcomings of universities and colleges.

In the latest report, GSIRF rating 2022, nine universities, and seven colleges got five out of five stars including Gujarat University, PDEU, Nirma University, Cept University, DAIICT, Ahmedabad University, etc.
