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