NIRF Rankings 2025: IIT Madras Tops Overall & Engineering

Ministry of Education has released the 10th edition of the NIRF Rankings 2025. Once again, IIT Madras has claimed the top spot in both Overall and Engineering categories, while IISc Bengaluru continues to reign as India’s best university.

 

This year, the rankings span across multiple categories, including Colleges, Management, Medical, Pharmacy, Law, Architecture, Agriculture, SDG Institutions, and more. The framework also introduced negative marking for retracted research papers and a new Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) category, making the evaluation sharper and more holistic.
