To further improve its position among universities
Since Bharathidasan University has improved its position to 60 (43.41) from 67 (41.63) last year in the NIRF 2019 ranking of universities, faculties say there is hope for progressive improvement.
In the overall category, the university has risen to the 86th position from 94 last year. The university has scored 43.41 out of 100, compared to 41.63 last year.
Among State universities in Tamil Nadu, BDU has been placed after Bharathiyar University, (ranked 14th), University of Madras, (ranked 20), Alagappa Universtiy (28), and Madurai Kamaraj University (ranked 45).
BDU is ahead of Periyar University, Salem, ranked 68.
According to teachers in BDU, which has been accredited with A+ by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) in the third cycle of accreditation, other universities have locational advantage when it comes to NIRF ranking.
The ranking framework evaluates institutions on five broad generic groups of parameters: Teaching, Learning and Resources (TLR), Research and Professional Practice (RP), Graduation Outcomes (GO), Outreach and Inclusivity (OI) and Perception (PR).
Scoring high under the last two groups of parameters is a tough proposition for Bharathidasan University, faculties said.
For instance, the university cannot score well in the aspect of regional diversity since there is little possibility for students of other States or countries to seek admission, Coordinator of Internal Quality Assurance Cell, Bharathiasan University S. Rajasekar said.
The university has been taking initiatives to improve the score under Public Perception.
However, in the area of Graduation Outcomes, the university faces an obstacle since the industrial activities are not robust for generating the employment opportunities.
Universities located near the border of other States, on the other hand, are able to score well under Regional Diversity, as students from other States are enrolled. Urban students prefer city colleges, and a majority of students admitted in BDU departments hail from rural areas.
Also, since other State universities ahead of BDU are located in places that are economically vibrant, they will. in all probability, continue to hold advantage in NIRF ranking by virtue of better placement records.
Nevertheless, having scaled up its position to 60 from 67 last year and 82nd rank in the previous year, there is optimism that the performance will be sustained year after year, Mr. Rajasekar said.
