NIRF Rankings 2025: The Union Education Ministry released the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) Rankings 2025.
This year’s rankings are released across 17 categories including overall, universities, colleges, research institutions, engineering, management, pharmacy, medical, dental, law, architecture and planning, agriculture and allied sectors, open universities, skill universities, state public universities and SDGs.
Vineet Joshi, Secretary of Higher Education, said the framework had been refined further to ensure fairness and credibility.
“Noteworthy changes in India Rankings 2025 included the introduction of negative marking for retracted articles. Moreover, the removal of self-citations under research and professional practices—applied across all categories and subject domains last year—was continued this year as well,” Joshi said.
In the medical category, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences Delhi (AIIMS Delhi), retained its position in medical institutions for the eighth consecutive year.
It was followed by the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, and Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore.
