  📘 LIBRARY BLOG: ORIENTATION SESSION ON NIRF 2025 – EMPOWERING STUDENTS TO MAKE INFORMED COLLEGE CHOICES

The Library of PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya, Sundargarh organized an informative session for Classes XI and XII on the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2025, released by the Government of India. The session aimed to guide senior students in making well-informed decisions while selecting colleges and streams after Class XII.

The session was conducted by the Librarian, who explained the purpose and importance of NIRF through an engaging PowerPoint Presentation and live demonstration using the official government website – www.nirfindia.org. Students learned how NIRF ranks Indian institutions based on parameters like Teaching–Learning Resources, Research, Graduation Outcomes, Inclusivity, and Perception.

Through real-time browsing of the NIRF portal, students explored how to compare colleges by category, such as Engineering, Management, Law, Medicine, and overall university ranking. The presentation also highlighted the new features of NIRF 2025, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) category and the revised evaluation system ensuring greater transparency.

The importance of NIRF for students was emphasized, showing how it helps them:

• Make data-driven college choices based on authentic government rankings.

• Understand institutional strengths in teaching, research, and placements.

• Align their career interests and academic goals with the right college.

Students actively participated, asked questions about their preferred fields, and expressed appreciation for this valuable guidance session. The session concluded with the message that “Informed decisions lead to empowered futures.”

The library continues to play a vital role in educating students beyond books, fostering awareness about higher education opportunities and government initiatives like NIRF 2025.
