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

Karnataka Engineering ranking history

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

Comparisons use the preceding available Engineering edition and the state recorded in each year's list. Newly listed means absent from the previous Karnataka 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.
