GITAM (Gandhi Institute of Technology And Management) has been actively participating in the India Rankings (NIRF) since 2017. The NIRF, an initiative by the Ministry of Education (MoE), formerly known as MHRD, Government of India, ranks institutions across various disciplines in the country based on a given framework. GITAM, identified as a Category – I Deemed to be University, voluntarily engages in this ranking process.
The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) at GITAM, established in 2009, likely plays a crucial role in facilitating such participations and maintaining the quality standards that contribute to these rankings. The IQAC is part of the Directorate of Accreditation & Ranking (A & R). GITAM offers a wide range of programs across various schools, including the GITAM School of Architecture, the GITAM School of Technology, the GITAM School of Humanities and Social Science, the GITAM School of Law, the GITAM School of Business, and others. The university’s participation in NIRF reflects its commitment to being evaluated and benchmarked against other institutions in India.
