This page covers published NIRF entries, not every good institution in Tamil Nadu offering programmes in this category. An institution's absence does not mean it is a poor choice. Ranks are national Agriculture ranks, not positions within Tamil Nadu.

Tamil Nadu Agriculture ranking history

Explore Tamil Nadu institutions in the published NIRF Agriculture lists by year. Every rank below is a national category rank, not a position within Tamil Nadu. A lower rank number is better.

Comparisons use the preceding available Agriculture edition and the state recorded in each year's list. Newly listed means absent from the previous Tamil Nadu list, not necessarily a first NIRF appearance. Absence does not establish why an institution is missing, and movement alone does not explain changes in quality.
