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