The official NIRF 2020 Architecture ranking in this database contains 20 ranked institutions. Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur leads at rank 1 with a score of 80.46. IIT Roorkee is second and NIT Calicut is third.
Among institutions classified by NIRFRank, 14 are government and 6 are private. CEPT University is the leading private entry at rank 4 with a score of 66.68. The list covers 12 states and 17 cities. A smaller rank number is better, and scores should be compared only within the same category and year.
Movement compares each year with the preceding available edition. Newly listed means absent from the comparison year, not necessarily a first appearance. Absence does not establish why an institution is missing. Rank changes alone do not explain changes in quality.
