INDIAN INSTITUTE OF Technology-Madras (IIT-M), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), and IIT Bombay have bagged the first, second, and third positions, respectively, in the overall National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) released by the ministry of education on Thursday.
IIT Madras, which has topped the list since 2019, also emerged on the top in rankings in other categories such as engineering institutes, innovation, and sustainable development goals.
With nearly 7,700 institutions participating this year, NIRF rankings have shown a minor shake-up in the overall category with Banaras Hindu University (BHU) entering the top 10 list, and IIT Guwahati falling out of it.
