NEW DELHI: Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) maintained its 2nd place at National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2024 following the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bengaluru at first place.
The metric of NIRF involves teaching, learning & resources, research and professional practice, graduation outcome, outreach & inclusivity and perception. However, The New Indian went to the JNU campus and talked to the students about their opinions.
JNU student says, ‘Infrastructure and facilities fail; the NIRF ranking is due to the students’ efforts.’

When The New Indian asked what students think is the reason behind the 2nd ranking of JNU at NIRF, a student pursuing PHD, Shikha Swaraj said, “JNU is carrying the baggage of old reputations. It is all because of the hard work of students and their achievements. If we talk about infrastructure or faculty, there is no security passage, and there is limited seating capacity in the library, & broken washrooms.”
Responding to the same question another student, Rajeshvar Dubey said, “All the credit goes to students, who are performing with limited resources. Hostels are like camps, Classroom conditions are the worst like primary school in a village. JNU has approx 7800 students but their reading room capacity is only 300-400.”
JNU maintained its second place however University of Delhi couldn’t even come in the top five. While speaking on this, Chandral said, “The legacy of JNU, the faculty and the students are the reasons that JNU was able to rank higher than the University of Delhi (DU).” There should be no comparison between DU and JNU. Because the type of students who come to both places are different.”
Another student Ayush Chandral said, “This is one of the cheapest colleges in Delhi. The fees are lower compared to other colleges. World-level faculty and good opportunities in research are other factors. However, If we talk about infrastructure that still needs renovation.”
