This page covers published NIRF entries, not every good institution in Mumbai offering programmes in this category. An institution's absence does not mean it is a poor choice. Ranks are national University ranks, not positions within Mumbai.
Mumbai University ranking history
Explore Mumbai institutions in the published NIRF University lists by year. Every rank below is a national category rank, not a position within Mumbai. A lower rank number is better.
Comparisons use the preceding available University edition and the state and city recorded in each year's list. Newly listed means absent from the previous Mumbai 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.
