New Delhi Research ranking history
Explore New Delhi institutions in the published NIRF Research lists by year. Every rank below is a national category rank, not a position within New Delhi. 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 New Delhi 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.
