This page covers published NIRF entries, not every good institution in Telangana 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 Telangana.

Telangana Engineering ranking history

Explore Telangana institutions in the published NIRF Engineering lists by year. Every rank below is a national category rank, not a position within Telangana. 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 Telangana 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.

Highlights and changes in 2025

6 Telangana institutions appear in the 2025 published Engineering list. Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad is the highest-ranked Telangana entry at national rank 7 with a score of 72.31.
