IIT Bombay leads the Maharashtra entries in 2021 at national rank 3 with a score of 85.16.
These institutions appeared in the available Maharashtra lists from 2016 to 2021. Ownership uses our current classification; each entry shows its latest listed year and national rank.
This page covers published NIRF entries, not every good institution in Maharashtra 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 Maharashtra.
Explore Maharashtra institutions in the published NIRF Engineering lists by year. Every rank below is a national category rank, not a position within Maharashtra. 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 Maharashtra 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.
