NIRF Architecture Rankings

Q: What is the NIRF 2025 Architecture ranking?

It is the official NIRF 2025 ranking list for the Architecture category, with rank, score and institution details.

The official NIRF 2025 Architecture ranking in this database contains 40 ranked institutions. Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee leads at rank 1 with a score of 83.95. NIT Calicut is second and IIT Kharagpur is third.

Among institutions classified by NIRFRank, 23 are government and 17 are private. CEPT University is the leading private entry at rank 6 with a score of 65.73. The list covers 19 states and 29 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.
