This page covers published NIRF entries, not every good institution in Varanasi 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 Varanasi.
Varanasi Law ranking history
Explore Varanasi institutions in the published NIRF Law lists by year. Every rank below is a national category rank, not a position within Varanasi. 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 Varanasi 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.
