This page covers published NIRF entries, not every good institution in New Delhi 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 New Delhi.
New Delhi University ranking history
Explore New Delhi institutions in the published NIRF University 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 University 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.
