New Delhi: Days after Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh attributed the decline in the National Institutional Ranking Framework's (NIRF) rankings to the imbalance between their numbers, the Delhi University (DU) has established a seven-member committee to investigate and discuss provisions related to the student-teacher ratio. In this year's NIRF rankings, which were released earlier this month by the Ministry of Education, the DU dropped one spot to take 13th place. To guarantee the best use of the varsity's infrastructure, including lab equipment, the committee led by DU Director South Campus Prakash Singh will also undertake discussions on the size of the student groups for lectures, practicals, and tutorials. 

According to an announcement from the university, "The University of Delhi has formed a committee to analyze, discuss, and revise provisions related to the student-teacher ratio and size of the student groups for lectures, practicals, and tutorials. "The city-based Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI), which took second and third place in the NIRF under the university category, respectively, are ranked ahead of Delhi University. The newly established committee, according to Prakash Singh, is a result of the NIRF ranking. "This ranking (from the NIRF) led to these exercises. We have published a lot lately. You'll be amazed to learn that even though we are ranked number 13, our publishing ratio is far higher than that of our other colleges. For us, it is also a worrying issue, he continued. "We have been performing far better in other areas for a number of reasons, such as perception, the student-teacher ratio, and faculty strength. We are down there," he continued.
