NIRF Engineering Ranking 2026: Top 100 Colleges in India

MoE will soon release the NIRF Engineering rankings 2026. This will include more than 300 colleges across the country. But the NIRF rankings focus on the top 100 and mentions all other institutes above top 100 in bands. NIRF lists institutions alphabetically within these bands and does not assign an individual rank to every institute in the 101-150 or 201-300 bands. Once released, this article will be updated with the complete details on the top 100 Engineering Colleges in India, including their NIRF rank and score.

NIRF Engineering Ranking 2026: The Ministry of Education (MoE) is expected to release the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2026 engineering ranking in September 2026. The list of top 100 engineering colleges in India 2026 will be announced online at nirfindia.org. The NIRF Engineering Ranking is released annually to rank engineering institutions across India on parameters including teaching, learning and resources, research and professional practices, graduation outcomes, outreach and inclusivity, and perception. Once released, the NIRF Engineering Ranking 2026 will provide the latest list of India’s top engineering colleges.

What is NIRF Engineering Ranking?

The National Institutional Ranking Framework, commonly known as NIRF, is a ranking framework introduced by the Ministry of Education, Government of India. It ranks higher education institutions using a common methodology across different categories. Engineering is one of the categories under NIRF. The Engineering ranking allows students to compare participating engineering institutes based on factors such as teaching resources, research, graduation outcomes, outreach and perception.
The ranking is particularly useful for students comparing IITs, NITs, IIITs, government engineering colleges and other participating institutes.

NIRF Engineering Ranking 2026 Parameters

The NIRF Engineering Ranking is prepared using five broad parameters:

Parameter	Weightage
Teaching, Learning & Resources (TLR)	30%
Research and Professional Practices (RPC)	30%
Graduation Outcomes (GO)	20%
Outreach and Inclusivity (OI)	10%
Perception	10%

The final score is calculated using the prescribed NIRF methodology, after which participating institutes are ranked within the Engineering category.
