IIM Kashipur’s latest dated NIRF result
In the Ministry of Education’s India Rankings 2025, IIM Kashipur placed 23rd in the Management category with an overall score of 61.74. The official table identifies the institute as IR-M-S-8967 and shows Kashipur, Uttarakhand. This is a national, category-specific result for the 2025 edition. It is not a score out of 100 on an admissions test, a salary figure or a guarantee of any individual student outcome.
The IIM Kashipur NIRF page lists links for “Submitted Data for NIRF 2026.” A submission link is institutional data, not a published rank or score. The dated result page captured for this article is the 2025 Management ranking. Check the official NIRF result page for a later published edition before treating 23 as the newest rank in a future year.
What the NIRF score measures
NIRF’s 2025 Management methodology assigns 30% weight to Teaching, Learning and Resources (TLR), 30% to Research and Professional Practice (RP), 20% to Graduation Outcomes (GO), 10% to Outreach and Inclusivity (OI), and 10% to Perception (PR). The institute’s result page reports its component scores as TLR 72.62, RP 40.68, GO 87.55, OI 75.86 and Perception 26.46, alongside the overall 61.74 score.
The parameter weights show why the overall result cannot be inferred from one category alone: TLR and RP together account for 60% of the framework, while the other three dimensions make up the remaining 40%. Scores in the official ranking table are published as parameter scores, not as a personalized assessment. The methodology is specific to India Rankings 2025, so do not assume future editions retain every detail unchanged.
Within the methodology, TLR includes student strength, faculty-to-student ratio, faculty qualifications and experience, and financial resources. RP covers publication quantity and quality plus projects and professional practice. GO includes placement and higher studies, examinations and median salary. OI includes geographic and gender diversity, support for economically or socially challenged students, and facilities for students with disabilities. Perception reflects employer and academic peer perception. These are different measures with different weights; a lower component score should be read as one part of the framework, not as a complete description of teaching or student experience.
For Kashipur, Graduation Outcomes is the highest of the five displayed component scores, while Perception is the lowest. RP is also below TLR, GO and OI in this result. These comparisons describe the published 2025 score profile only. They do not explain the underlying cause of a component score, and the table does not establish how a particular applicant or graduate will fare.
Recent rank and score context
IIM Kashipur’s 2024–25 annual report says the institute ranked 19th in NIRF Management in 2023, then 23rd in both 2024 and 2025. It reports a total score of 60.82 for 2024 and 61.74 for 2025. So the score rose by 0.92 points between those two editions while the displayed rank stayed at 23. Rank and score can move differently because rank depends on the performance of other participating institutions as well as an institute’s own score.
The annual report also notes that scores were close within the 21–30 bracket in the 2025 ranking. That is useful context for why small score changes do not always change a rank, but it is not a forecast that Kashipur will move up in a later edition. Use the ranking year beside every rank: an old position should not be presented without its year as if it were the current result.
How to compare ranking claims
An IIM Kashipur recruiter page currently lists “NIRF Ranking: 19th” without showing a year beside that entry. The institute’s annual report ties the 19th position to 2023 and reports 23rd for 2024 and 2025. When a ranking number appears without its edition, use the dated NIRF result and annual-report trend rather than assuming the undated figure is the newest result.
Other ranking systems use their own categories, evidence, scoring methods and publication cycles. The recruiter page also lists figures from several other publishers, but most entries are not dated there. They should not be placed in one table as directly comparable positions unless the ranking edition, program scope and method are verified from the publisher. For applicants, use rankings as one context point alongside programme fit, curriculum, cost, location, placement evidence and the specific batch’s admission rules. A national institutional position does not answer all of those questions.
Before relying on a ranking, confirm that it is the Management category rather than an overall, innovation or other discipline list. Then record the edition year, exact institution name, score and rank together. A ranking score can help explain how the provider’s framework assessed an institute, while the rank describes its position among the institutions included in that edition. Neither metric is a direct substitute for checking a curriculum, a campus visit, placement denominators or the published fee schedule. Use the newest dated result you can verify, and retain older editions only to understand change over time.
