flag NIRF to penalize institutions for tainted research in 2025 rankings to boost academic integrity.

flag The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) will introduce negative marking for retracted and tainted research papers in its 2025 rankings, a major shift aimed at curbing academic misconduct. flag The change, part of broader reforms, penalizes institutions for publishing or citing flawed research, addressing concerns over credibility and transparency. flag With over 8,700 institutions participating, the rankings influence students, employers, and policymakers. flag The move follows criticism over self-reported data and a public interest litigation challenging the process. flag Draft guidelines are under development, and the new system aligns with global standards by emphasizing research integrity.
