Trimming of Old Rankings/Adding Updated Rankings/Fixing Links

Hello I've updated all instances of NIRF 2020/2021 and those should be removed from the already very long list. I don't have the necessary experience to edit the sandbox or I would have done it.

Times and QS have already updated their rankings to 2024 which should be included(QS is already in the sandbox I can see)

India Today no longer uses the current link it now uses this

Thank you NotPixel, you did an awesome job. Too bad you didn't {{ping}} me or left me a message or I would have tried to update the template earlier, as my health allows. For now I cleaned up the older options and I will add NIRF 2024. I will then look at other sourced. I tagged all 2020 and 2021 rankings in Category:Pages using Infobox India university ranking with older rankings (85) and it will re-populate in time, if you feel like cleaning up more. Muhandes (talk) 12:06, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Greetings @Muhandes. Hope your health is recovering. I will absolutely work on it when i get time, as I've begun my post graduate study. NotPixel (talk) 12:17, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

@NotPixel: Thanks for your concern, I have enough good days to edit. I'm happy to hear you begun your post graduate studies and wish you the best of luck. I added all NIRF2024 rankings and will work on your original Times and QS requests now. Muhandes (talk) 12:40, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Something went wrong. I'm reverting while I re-check it. --Muhandes (talk) 12:48, 1 September 2024 (UTC) And now fixed. --Muhandes (talk) 12:58, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

The most recent QS rankings and Times Higher Education added. --Muhandes (talk) 14:35, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done I updated the existing India Today rankings. Many more India Today rankings can be added by request, after the cleanup is done. --Muhandes (talk) 17:25, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Update QS 2024 & addition of World Ranking by Subject by QS

Please update the parameter of QS for year 2024 and also add a parameter for QS World Ranking by Subject as some universities have earned a global ranking and may want to reflect the same. Errerless (talk) 14:30, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Errerless:  Half done, most recent QS rankings added for all those which already existed. I can add specific Rankings by Subject upon request, but the template is already way too large, so I wont do that until all 2020 and 2021 usage is updated and Category:Pages using Infobox India university ranking with older rankings (85) is cleaned up. Muhandes (talk) 14:45, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Updates required for multiple rankings

ARWU have released the 2023 rankings

Times has released both 2024 Asia and World rankings

Outlook India has released all of their rankings for 2024 (OUTLOOK-RANKS (outlookindia.com))

India Today also now releases a multiple rankings for multiple categories, I think that should be incorporated as well. (College Ranking in India - India Today)

Financial Times has also released their 2024 edition (MBA 2024 - Business school rankings from the Financial Times - FT.com) Xoocit (talk) 08:37, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

@Xoocit:  Done. I added the latest editions of ARWU, Times, Outlook India, India Today and Financial Times rankings. Now show that you actually care about this by using the template and cleaning up Category:Pages using Infobox India university ranking with older rankings (85). --Muhandes (talk) 18:54, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Addition of NIRF 2024 Rankings

NIRF 2024 rankings have been published. Changes can be made in the template to add 2024 rankings.

Hitesh Thakrani (talk) 13:42, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

@Hitesh Thakrani:  Done. You can show you care about this template by helping cleaning up Category:Pages using Infobox India university ranking with older rankings (85). Muhandes (talk) 13:16, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the updation. Can you also please add a category 'Agriculture and Allied Sectors' to the NIRF 2024 template. As this is also a category under which ranking is released every year. Source- https://www.nirfindia.org/nirfpdfcdn/2024/pdf/Report/IR2024_Report.pdf Hitesh Thakrani (talk) 15:14, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

@Muhandes please do the needful for above (Adding a category 'Agriculture and Allied Sectors' to the NIRF 2024 template (as this is also a category under which ranking is released every year). Hitesh Thakrani (talk) 15:17, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

@Hitesh Thakrani I'm sorry, but I am not going to waste my time on this template until I see someone cares about it, and not just about updating the page for their own institute. It has been more than three months since September 1 and only three of the 93 pages with very old rankings have been updated: Category:Pages using Infobox India university ranking with older rankings (85), not to speak of 323 pages still using outdated rankings: Category:Pages using outdated Infobox India university ranking (310). Muhandes (talk) 18:34, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

@Muhandes I have been updating the recent NIRF 2024 rankings on all pages. However, pages with category 'Agriculture and Allied Sectors' are left. Can start on with other rankings like QS, India Today, Outlook once NIRF is done. Hitesh Thakrani (talk) 16:28, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

@Hitesh Thakrani: I think priority should be given to cleaning up articles in the category I mentioned, which are four or more years old. Once that's done, I'll resume adding and updating rankings. Muhandes (talk) 16:37, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Update NIRF 2024, QS 2024, FT MBA 2024, and Outlook B-School 2024

Infoboxes are looking out-of-date since many rankings are now 2 years old. Kindly update the new rankings, particularly for B-Schools and T-Schools which have oft visited pages. Burhan.nameer (talk) 20:01, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

@Burhan.nameer:  Half done NIRF rankings were added and I will add others soon. Now show that you care about rankings in India and use them on some articles, cleaning up Category:Pages using Infobox India university ranking with older rankings (85). Muhandes (talk) 13:19, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Used on page of IIMB Burhan.nameer (talk) 04:32, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

@Burhan.nameer: Don't take it wrong, but that's exactly why I did not update the template for so long and why no one will update it in the future. You, and four other editors, come here requesting for a few hours of my time. Each of you then goes back and updates exactly the one article, the article for the institute you care for. None of you care for the fact that out of 438 pages using this template, 405 are using outdated rankings (see Category:Pages using outdated Infobox India university ranking (310)), and 93 are using rankings from 2020 and 2021 (see Category:Pages using Infobox India university ranking with older rankings (85)). If you don't care, why should I?

As a side note, you can reuse the template references, see example here. Muhandes (talk) 09:23, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

@Muhandes: Hi. I am a new editor, and was mainly focussed on my college. Let me see if I can help you in some way. In India, users often don't update wiki pages, and to manually check the rank of every college in every list individually is a VERY cumbersome task. Still, I will see if I can update a few colleges. Burhan.nameer (talk) 09:57, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

@Burhan.nameer: It's frustrating that editors request updates but seldom use them in more than one article. However, I regret taking it out on a new editor, and for that, I apologize. Muhandes (talk) 10:39, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

QS rankings updated. --Muhandes (talk) 14:46, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done I added the latest editions of NIRF, QS, FT and Outlook India. --Muhandes (talk) 18:56, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks :-) Burhan.nameer (talk) 04:32, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Opinion on Addition of IIRF Ranking

IRF Ranking claims to be ranking guided by industry and professionals. It has been active since 2015, a year before NIRF Ranking was issued.

Does anyone here expertise to verify the methodology used by IIRF? Is it impartial and credible one to be included here?

If Yes, can anyone who knows how to edit the Template be willing to make the addition? Wiki6995 (talk) 01:58, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

@Wiki6995: I don't have an opinion about IIRF, and we don't have an article about them. The first step would be to create such an article and establish notability. I would argue that the before adding new rankings to the template, we need to clean up the 329 pages using outdated rankings (see Category:Pages using outdated Infobox India university ranking (310)), and 90 using rankings from 2020 and 2021 (see Category:Pages using Infobox India university ranking with older rankings (85).

404 - File or directory not found

Could someone please correct the citation for NIRF (2024) under Engineering? The URL currently has an extra "L" after ".html" (appearing as htmll), which invalidates the link.
correct link: https://www.nirfindia.org/Rankings/2024/EngineeringRanking.html
Thank you.
