Notably, RGU secured the top position among all central universities in the Northeast region for the second consecutive year in the IIRF rankings.
Tezpur University (Assam) ranked 24th, Mizoram University (Mizoram) 25th, and Central Agricultural University (Manipur) 26th.
The IIRF ranking offers a comprehensive evaluation of higher education institutions across key parameters such as teaching, learning resources & pedagogy, research, industry income & integration, placement performance, placement strategy & support, future orientation, external perception, and international outlook.
This is not the first time the university has made a name for itself in rankings.
In a recent evaluation conducted by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council, the university was awarded a prestigious Grade A. As one of the few higher education institutions in the state, RGU is an important asset to the region.
Since its inception in 1984, the university has made education affordable not only for students from the state but also from other parts of the region. The institution must be nurtured well to ensure it continues to provide quality education to the students of the region.
