NIRF (National Institutional Ranking Framework) invites applications for India Rankings 2026

The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) was launched in 2015 to rank higher educational institutions in the country based on objective criteria to promote competitive excellence in higher educational institutions. NIRF now invites applications for India Rankings 2026, the eleventh edition of this annual exercise.

In case your institution is not pre-registered in the above manner and wishes to participate in India Rankings 2026, you are requested to visit our website, i.e., www.nirfindia.org and register your institution by clicking the registration button.
