NIRF 2021 Medical rankings

The official NIRF 2021 Medical ranking in this database contains 50 ranked institutions. All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi leads at rank 1 with a score of 92.07. PGIMER Chandigarh is second and Christian Medical College Vellore is third.

Among institutions classified by NIRFRank, 21 are government and 24 are private. Christian Medical College Vellore is the leading private entry at rank 3 with a score of 75.33. The list covers 15 states and 35 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.
