a. All higher education institutions in our State can register/sign in through KSHEC Portal and can upload the institutional data in the respective fields. HEIs should be registered in All Kerala Higher Education Survey (AKHES) to participate in KIRF.
b. Institutions under different categories such as overall, universities, colleges, engineering, management, teacher education, pharmacy, medical, dental, law, architecture and nursing can participate in the ranking process and can register separately, provide data in the specific format, if they desire to be included in the category specific ranking list.
