2 Bengaluru institutions appear in the NIRF 2021 Research list, with national ranks, scores and cities. Use the list to explore college profiles and compare options.

Indian Institute of Science leads the Bengaluru entries in 2021 at national rank 1 with a score of 86.48.

This page covers published NIRF entries, not every good institution in Bengaluru offering programmes in this category. An institution's absence does not mean it is a poor choice. Ranks are national Research ranks, not positions within Bengaluru.

Bengaluru Research ranking history

Explore Bengaluru institutions in the published NIRF Research 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 Research 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.
