This page covers published NIRF entries, not every good institution in Kerala offering programmes in this category. An institution's absence does not mean it is a poor choice. Ranks are national Architecture ranks, not positions within Kerala.
Kerala Architecture ranking history
Explore Kerala institutions in the published NIRF Architecture lists by year. Every rank below is a national category rank, not a position within Kerala. A lower rank number is better.
Comparisons use the preceding available Architecture edition and the state recorded in each year's list. Newly listed means absent from the previous Kerala 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.
