Institutions from the State have managed to top three out of four categories in the country’s first ever National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF).
The rankings released by the Ministry of Human Resources Development had the Indian Institute of Management - Bangalore, Indian Institute of Science – Bangalore and Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences – Manipal top the lists for management, university and pharmacy, respectively.
Ironically, not a single engineering institution from Karnataka managed to make it to the top 20, despite being home to over 200 engineering colleges.
