The Ministry of Education has released the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2024 report. In this report, Ahmedabad’s Gujarat University and IIT Gandhinagar have once again secured positions in the top 100 educational institutions in the country in overall category.

Gujarat University has once again made it to the top 100 rankings in both the overall category and the university category.

For the first time, no college from Gujarat has made it to the top 100 list. This year too, no private university from Gujarat has been ranked in the top 100 in either the overall category or the university category.

This year, 10,845 institutions participated in the ranking process.

This is the 9th edition of the ranking report. A total of 6,517 institutions and 10,845 university-colleges applied in various categories. In terms of Gujarat’s educational institutions, IIT Gandhinagar has fallen from 24th place in 2023 to 29th place in the overall category.

The state’s largest and oldest government university, Gujarat University, has also dropped in rankings from 85th to 94th place compared to last year. In the university category, Gujarat University is now in 79th place, down from 61st place last year. 

However, Gujarat University is the only institution from the state to have consistently been in the top 100 rankings for five consecutive years.

Gujarat Technological University (GTU) has only been ranked in pharmacy.

Last year, only St. Xavier’s College from Gujarat made it to the top 100 colleges in the country. New categories this year include Open University, Skill University, and State Public University.

Gujarat University and Ambedkar University are in the Open University category, and Gujarat’s Skill University is still new and not ranked. In the State Public University category, Gujarat University has risen to 29th place with a score of 53.99 among the top 40 universities in the country.
