The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ has announced the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) Ranking 2020 on 11 June 2020. Here we have presented the list of top 10 Engineering colleges present in India that contains 9 IITs (Indian Institute Of Technology) and 1 NIT (National Institutes of Technology). NIRF ranking is an annual report card to the nation and to the stakeholders on what has been done by the institution in the last year.
The NIRF ranking is based on 5 Parameters:
- Teaching, Learning, and Resources (Ranking Weightage = 0.30)
- Research, Professional Practice, and Collaborative Performance (Ranking Weightage = 0.20)
- Graduation Outcomes (Ranking Weightage = 0.25)
- Outreach (Ranking Weightage = 0.15)
- Perception (Ranking Weightage = 0.10)
Students who are aiming to pursue their career in Engineering in India can go through the NIRF Ranking list and get a clear idea about the performance of different Engineering colleges. Here we have listed 10 Engineering colleges that topped the NIRF ranking 2020 in which IIT Madras bagged the first position with 89.93 scores.

These rankings will guide the students for selecting their desirable universities based on a set of parameters and help the Colleges increase their performance. This can also act as a guideline for the College to improve its performance in the field of research and focus on the areas that are in need of development. Pokhriyal said "It is indeed befitting that besides Overall ranking, category-specific rankings are done for colleges and universities and subject-specific rankings are done for Engineering, Management, Pharmacy, Architecture, Law, and Medicine. A new subject domain, i.e. “Dental” is introduced from 2020 onwards". The Ranking of Institutions at the national level introduces competitiveness among all the institutions to perform better and move up in international rankings.
