NIRF 2020 Overall rankings

Q: What is the NIRF 2020 Overall ranking?

It is the official NIRF 2020 ranking list for the Overall category, with rank, score and institution details.

The official NIRF 2020 Overall ranking in this database contains 101 ranked institutions. Indian Institute of Technology Madras leads at rank 1 with a score of 85.31. Indian Institute of Science is second and IIT Delhi is third.

Among institutions classified by NIRFRank, 72 are government and 27 are private. Amrita is the leading private entry at rank 13 with a score of 60.74. The list covers 24 states and 67 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.
