The Kerala Institutional Ranking Framework (KIRF), initiated by the Kerala State Higher Education Council (KSHEC), evaluates and ranks higher education institutions across the State using transparent, data-driven performance metrics. Eligible institutions may register and submit the required data through the KIRF online portal, where it is verified and assessed by KSHEC and its partner agencies. Open to institutions across all disciplines, this annual ranking initiative aims to enhance quality, accountability, and excellence in higher education.
