*A suitable metric has been proposed which computes a score under each sub-head. The sub-head scores are then added to obtain scores for each individual head. The overall score is computed-based on the weights allotted to each head. The overall score can take a maximum value of 100.
*The committee recommended the classification of institutions into two categories:
:*'''Category A institutions:''' These are institutions of national importance set up by Acts of Parliament, State Universities, Deemed-to-be Universities, Private Universities and other autonomous institutions.
:*'''Category B institutions:''' These are institutions affiliated to a University and do not enjoy full academic autonomy.

In 2021, Professor [[Anil Kumar Tripathi (academician)|Anil Kumar Tripathi]], director of the [[Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University]] criticized the NIRF University rankings, accusing it to compare institutions with same budget but varying number of students. He said that "[[Indian Institute of Science|IISc]] no doubt, is the top institution in the country. [[Banaras Hindu University]] (BHU), however, is a different kind of educational institution. Both institutions have almost the same budget but the same amount of money caters to a large number of students, teachers and infrastructure at BHU. In comparison to IISc the money available is about five to ten times lesser in our university because of the sheer size".<ref>{{Cite web |title=NIRF Ranking 2021: Can't compare IITs, IISc with BHU, says BHU director |url=https://news.careers360.com/nirf-ranking-2021-universities-cannot-compare-iit-madras-bombay-iisc-bengaluru-jnu-bhu-amu-education-ministry-budget |access-date=2022-06-07 |website=news.careers360.com |date=11 September 2021 |language=en |archive-date=18 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221018200510/https://news.careers360.com/nirf-ranking-2021-universities-cannot-compare-iit-madras-bombay-iisc-bengaluru-jnu-bhu-amu-education-ministry-budget |url-status=live }}</ref>
