Kerala Medical ranking history
Explore Kerala institutions in the published NIRF Medical lists by year. Every rank below is a national category rank, not a position within Kerala. A lower rank number is better.
Comparisons use the preceding available Medical edition and the state recorded in each year's list. Newly listed means absent from the previous Kerala 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.
