Agartala: Tripura University has improved its position in the Indian Institutional Ranking Framework (IIRF) 2025, ranking 44th in the list of 50 top central universities of the country. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The position of Tripura University was 47th last year and 28th in 2023. However, the rank of Tripura University was found lowest among the 10 central universities in the northeast this year too. Rajiv Gandhi University in Itanagar became best in the region securing 13th rank in IIRF this year, followed by Tezpur University (24th), Mizoram University (25th), Central Agricultural University (26th), Northeastern Hill University, Shillong (29th), Nagaland University (34th), Sikkim University (36th), Assam University (37th), and Manipur University (40th). The deterioration of Tripura University began with the appointment of incumbent vice-chancellor Prof Ganga Prasad Prasain in Aug 2020. He has been accused of large-scale corruption in the appointment of faculty and non-teaching staff, including his son as an assistant engineer. Allegedly, the academic ambiance in the university has gone down, rather, it has become a hub of political activities of saffron outfits. The ministry of education has been flooded with complaints against the vice-chancellor that reportedly affected the IIRF ranking. According to IIRF data, Tripura University achieved an overall index score of 901, an increase from 897.86 in 2024, but a fall from 929.99 in 2023.
