Where this comes from

Every rank, score and parameter score is copied from the ranking tables the Ministry of Education publishes on nirfindia.org(opens in a new tab), one table per category per year from 2016 to 2025. We match an institution across years and categories by its NIRF institute ID; for 2016 and 2017, when NIRF used older IDs, by name within the same state.

We publish NIRF’s figures as published, including ties, bands and withdrawn ranks, and do not correct them. Check the institution’s data PDF linked in each row for the numbers behind its score.
