Best Engineering Colleges in India with NIRF Ranking 2025

NIRF is the standard ranking body by the Indian government. The ranking system is based on the faculty, outcomes of pursuing the programmes, and much more. In the last three years, no institute has been able to beat IIT Madras from the top ranking position as per NIRF standards. The dual degree department of IIT Madras has shown a significantly higher placement package of over INR 54 LPA and above. Even the Btech graduates from the regular programmes here make above INR 10 LPA to say the least. 

College Name	NIRF 2023	NIRF 2024	NIRF 2025
IIT Madras Ranking	1	1	1
IIT Delhi Ranking	2	2	2
IIT Bombay Ranking	3	3	3
IIT Kanpur Ranking	4	4	4
IIT Kharagpur Ranking	6	5	5
IIT Roorkee Ranking	5	6	6

IIT Guwahati Ranking	7	7	8
NIT Tiruchirapalli	9	9	9
IIT BHU Varanasi Ranking	15	10	10

Note: The data is from official sources and can change. 

Also, NIRF is not the only ranking body for the best institutes. You can go look at the top engineering colleges in India ranked by Times Engineering research survey, India Today, and others, which look at many other important parameters for today's B.Tech. and M.Tech. students.

For instance, you'll find out that the placements of some top engineering colleges of Bangalore, especially, IIIT-B (which is not in the top 10 of NIRF), have a record placement of a student earning INR 150 LPA. So, do look at the ROI of any of the engineering institutes, whether it's public or private.
