While IIM Bangalore has been declared as top management institution, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore is the best university in India. Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manipal reserves the top pharmacy institute in the country.
The NIRF covers 3,500 different institutes in four different categories – technological institution, management institution, pharmacy and university.

While JNU has been ranked as country’s third best university, HCU stands at 4th rank.
