ICARE is hiring Data & Research Associates across Maharashtra Universities

About ICARE

For over a decade, the Indian Centre for Academic Rankings & Excellence (ICARE) has been the unseen architect of India’s higher-education transformation.

From establishing the nation’s first State-level University Assessment in Karnataka (2012), to proposing the creation of India’s National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) to the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi (2014), and guiding the office of Hon’ble President Shri Pranab Mukherjee (2015) on bringing Central Universities into global rankings - ICARE has consistently set benchmarks for quality, credibility, and reform.

As India’s first and only private organization empanelled by the Central Government for assessment and accreditation, ICARE has emerged as a trusted partner in policy, governance, and institutional excellence, exemplified by its collaboration with the Capacity Building Commission (CBC) in shaping the National Standards for Civil Service Training Institutions (NSCSTI).
