It also retained its position as the country’s best engineering institution, which it has held ever since the rankings began in 2016. While Delhi’s Miranda
House, IIT, Jawaharlal Nehru University, All India Institute of Medical Sciences and Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) continued their good show, sought-after colleges such as St Stephen’s, Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) and Lady Shri Ram (LSR) have dropped in the rankings.
