Pondicherry Overall ranking history

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

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