However, a comprehensive understanding of their faculty composition is often lacking. Leveraging the Indian Research Information Network System (IRINS) as a primary data source, this research offers valuable insights into the demographic characteristics, academic backgrounds, research interests, and publication trends of faculty members within these institutions. By systematically examining the distribution of faculty across disciplines and assessing interdisciplinary research collaborations, the study highlights patterns and trends within the academic landscape. Furthermore, it explores the implications of these findings for institutional strategies, academic policies, and future research endeavours in India’s higher education sector. Through the utilization of simple percentage calculations, this study contributes to enhancing transparency and promoting evidence-based decision-making within central universities.}, }
