Source: NIRF India Rankings 2025, Engineering category, Ministry of Education, Government of India, released 4 September 2025; read on 1 November 2026. Ties share a rank (two institutes sit at 67). NIRF 2026 is not published yet; this page is updated when it is. The small link under each name is that institute's own website.
How to use it: NIRF scores teaching, research, graduation results, outreach and perception for the whole institute. It does not tell you which branch is strongest or what rank you need. Cut-offs change every year, so use the previous year's JoSAA or state counselling opening and closing ranks for that.
