Ranking of Engineering Colleges/Institutes in India based on Research
Recently I ranked engineering colleges in India based on the student quality and other parameters, and most of these rankings were also supported by a latest article in “Current Science”. Current Science is fortnightly research journal published by Indian Academy of Sciences since 1932. A recent article titled “Ranking of Indian engineering and technological institutes for their research performance during 1999–2008” in Current Science gives the ranking of engineering colleges based on research.
When there is a scope of some relaxation over the span of course and engineering studies for ranking, few very good research institutes that conduct major technological and Biological research (involving technology) in India, would also have been include. To name few are Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI), Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), and National Center for Biological Research (NCBS). Because when it comes to research India has few very specialized centers and Engineering studies are still well separated from research.
The list of top thirty colleges based on some research index is below.
| Rank | Institute |
|---|---|
| 1 | IISc, Bangalore |
| 2 | IIT Kanpur |
| 3 | IIT Bombay |
| 4 | IIT Kharagpur |
| 5 | IIT Delhi |
| 6 | Jadavpur University |
| 7 | IIT Madras |
| 8 | IIT Roorkee |
| 9 | Anna University |
| 10 | IIT Guwahati |
| 11 | Cochin University of Science and Technology |
| 12 | BITS, Pilani |
| 13 | Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai |
| 14 | IT BHU, Varanasi |
| 15 | Bengal Engineering and Science University, Howrah |
| 16 | College of Engineering, Anna University, Chennai |
| 17 | Harcourt Butler Institute of Technology, Kanpur |
| 18 | Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad |
| 19 | Maulana Azad NIT, Bhopal |
| 20 | NIT/REC, Rourkela |
| 21 | NIT/REC, Warangal |
| 22 | NIT/REC, Trichy |
| 23 | Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology, Sangrur |
| 24 | PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore |
| 25 | NIT, Jamshedpur |
| 26 | Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala |
| 27 | Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, New Delhi |
| 28 | Delhi College of Engineering, New Delhi |
| 29 | BITS, Mesra |
| 30 | S.J. College of Engineering, Mysore |
When it comes to research, India has few very specialized centers and Engineering studies are still well separated from research. Student preference may differ for course to course. A student going for Bachelor or Master of Engineering may not prefer this list because for them placement matters more than research. And placements depend on student quality and that changes the whole ranking.
I think research can be a good parameter for ranking engineering colleges in India but can not be used as only ranking as criteria, because of overlap in type colleges to be considered for ranking. Few are very specialized research centers and don’t offer undergrad studies (like IISc) and few are specialized to a single field (like Indian Institute of Chemical Technology).
Finally to conclude that research is a nice parameter for ranking engineering institutes in future but can not be treated as only criteria. I rally appreciate the authors contributing in giving a new direction to ranking engineering colleges in India. I hope in future we can see few more criteria coming up like Research project and funding and a specialized ranking based on departments. It is really a great direction to see some solid ranking in future.

what the hell is this??? This is all crap ranking…i think u hvnt done proper research…please do that before publishing such meaningless and non sense stuff……
IIT Kharagpur is the top 4 engineering college in India. It was also listed among the top 500 universities worldwide in the Academic Ranking of World Universities.
This Ranking IndeX List is probably the most Meaningful of them all.
Research has never been the forte of Indian Technical Education Diaspora,
Only Institutes like IISc,IIT-Kgp,IIT-Kanpur,Jadavpur University,
IIT-Delhi Encourages Field Work & research, apart from these fewer Institutions suports Research Undertaking, rather they stress on “PLACEMENTS”, its utterly sad N ridiculous.
Unless there is ample support for Research , Education “Business” in India will remain “business” depriving the potential of India of becoming an World Class Educational Hub.
how about joining SRM univ or VIT in tamil nadu???suggest any other better private colleges in bangalore.

Nikhal: This is not given by me dude. It was published in topic research journal india. you see my ranking at top engineering colleges ranking 2009.
I don’t believe that JNTU Hyd is better than NIT Warangal
Every in Andhra Pradesh knows that
please correct it
Dear Sir ,
I gave GATE 2010 and got GATE Score-192 with AIR 5169 in Instrumentation branch . Sir , please let me know is there any possibility to get admission in M-Tech degree in any top universities/Colleges through this score . If not , with this score can I get any sort of privilege in getting job concerning my department of Engineering.
Waiting for your affirmative response in my email .

Hello sir,
I got 418 score. (ec) obc
My queries are.
1 Give some suggestions where will I get admission ?
2 is there any chance of geting any nit if it is which branch?
This ranking shows that NITs, BIT Mesra also do research
. Funny!!
Where is ISI Kolakata, TIFR Mumbai if you are talking about research.
and if you are talking about involvement of students in research activities where is IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Bangalore.
are the new IITs or IT-BHU be preffered over top NITs, and what is the reason the B.tech courses are preffered over the 5 years dual courses? please give me some good suggestions….
yes according to research, it is some what better ranking
along with iisc,iits some colleges like nit rourkela,it bhu,jadavpur university are doing well
wat abt our great clg UVCE BANGALORE founded by sir M.VISVESVARAYA? THIS S REALLY ABSURD!!!!!
srm college facilities are better comepression than another private colleges in india.As well as srm college buildings are skyscapper.
hi
this ranking is tottaly wrong , they have not included top colleges such as amity, vellore. SRM
these three should be in top 20
Aman: Sorry to say, but this was based on a research article published in research journal. Please read the paras given above.
Is this Rank based on the research fundings obtained by professors at the respective institute?
HELLO SIR,
I GOT AIR = 2,34,653 [IN GEN. CAT.], 64,109 [IN OBC CAT.],M.P. STATE RANK 12454[IN GEN CAT.] & 2979[IN OBC CAT.]IN PAPER-I OF AIEEE-2010 FOR B.TECH. AIEEE-2010 MARKS = 58
IIT-JEE-2010 MARKS = 57
BITSAT-2010 SCORE = 142
CET-2010 AIR = 276 [GEN.], 40 [OBC], STATE RANK = 253 [GEN.] & 38 [OBC] CET-2010 MARKS = 70
P.E.T.-2010 RANK = 17,529 [GEN] & 3699 [OBC] P.E.T.-2010 MARKS = 84
NOW TELL ME WHICH TOP RANKED COLLEGES CAN I GET BY MY ABOVE SAID EXAM RESULTS & HOW ?
PLEASE ALSO TELL ME THAT IF I WANNA DO B.E./B.TECH. WITH AERONAUTICAL ENGG. OR COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGG. THEN WHAT WILL BE THE TOP COLLEGE I CAN GET THROUGH THE MARKS OF ANY OF THE ABOVE SAID EXAMS GIVEN BY ME ? PLEASE REPLY ME SOON ON MY E-MAIL ID. I SHALL BE THANKFUL TO U IF U DO THIS. THANKS
Please release the data in public according to which you have come up with these ranks. Without such data in my sight, I’ll consider this article of yours, to be a mere stunt to get page views.
this all crap!!!!!!!
this is jst a mislead to students
better research for 10 more years
Ritesh: I also thought that way but it appeared in an Indian research journal.
