Chennai: In a proud moment for Tamil Nadu, two medical colleges in the city have made it to the top 10 medical colleges in the country in the NIRF India Rankings 2018 announced by ministry of human resource development on Tuesday.
In the newly included medical category, Christian Medical College, Vellore, was ranked third with a score of 73.61, while Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, Chennai stood tenth scoring 55.32.
Expressing happiness over the achievement, principal of Christian Medical College Ansu Pulimood said that the college has improved in research programmes and aims at providing quality training to medical students. “Though the evaluation of overall academic standards help us make it to the top ten list, we give importance to provide in-filed training to the students so that they can render high quality services in future,” said Ansu Pulimood.
Vice chancellor of Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute Dr P. V. Vijayaraghavan said that the institute has enhanced the research paper publications and the college has also introduced new programs for medical students this year.
Two government colleges in top 100
In a major boost to various reforms undertaken by the higher education department in the state, two government arts and science colleges — one in Coimbatore and another one in Tiruppur — have been ranked among the top 100 colleges in the country.
The Government Arts and Science College in Coimbatore got 33rd rank while the Government Arts and Science College in Tiruppur was ranked at 71.
“The state government has introduced many new courses and developed an infrastructure of government colleges. We have insisted to all the colleges to apply for NIRF ranking and regularly reviewed their progress,” higher education secretary Sunil Paliwal said.
The state government also will likely to come up with State Universities Rating Framework in a few weeks.
VIT aims to break into top 10
Vellore Institute of Technology is aiming to break into top 10 in next years ranking, said G.V. Selvam, vice-president, VIT (Vellore Campus). VIT has slipped from 13th to 16th rank among the engineering institutions this year. But it is the top private engineering institute in the country.
“IITs have got better ranks this year. The only difference between VIT and the central institutions is research. They are getting funds from governments. We are trying to tie-up with the industries to get funds,” he explained.
He further said VIT is focusing on quality of research, students and teachers.
