Bengaluru Management ranking history

Explore Bengaluru institutions in the published NIRF Management lists by year. Every rank below is a national category rank, not a position within Bengaluru. A lower rank number is better.

Comparisons use the preceding available Management edition and the state and city recorded in each year's list. Newly listed means absent from the previous Bengaluru 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.
