This page covers published NIRF entries, not every good institution in Pune 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 Pune.
Pune Engineering ranking history
Explore Pune institutions in the published NIRF Engineering lists by year. Every rank below is a national category rank, not a position within Pune. A lower rank number is better.
Comparisons use the preceding available Engineering edition and the state and city recorded in each year's list. Newly listed means absent from the previous Pune 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.
