FORE’s latest verified NIRF Management result
The latest official result verified for this page is India Rankings 2025: Management. In NIRF’s table, the row for Fore School of Management, institute ID IR-M-I-1066, lists New Delhi, Delhi, a score of 52.23 and rank 59. Those identifiers, location, score and rank appear together in the same row, so the result is attributable to FORE rather than another Delhi management institution. It is a category-specific national ranking for the 2025 edition, not a placement rank, admission cutoff, accreditation grade or forecast for the 2027-28 intake. NIRF India Rankings 2025: Management
FORE’s NIRF page lists data submitted for the 2026 ranking, alongside submissions for earlier editions. A submission is institutional data for an evaluation cycle; it is not itself a published rank. Do not interpret that 2026 submission link as proof of a 2026 position. This page therefore reports the verified 2025 result and leaves any later awarded position unclaimed until the responsible NIRF result table identifies it. FORE NIRF page
What the 52.23 score represents
NIRF displays five component scores beside FORE’s 2025 result: Teaching, Learning and Resources (TLR) 69.46, Research and Professional Practice (RPC) 25.90, Graduation Outcomes (GO) 82.22, Outreach and Inclusivity (OI) 62.38, and Perception 9.36. The 2025 Management framework assigns these groups weights of 30%, 30%, 20%, 10% and 10%, respectively. Applying the published weights to the displayed components gives 20.838 + 7.770 + 16.444 + 6.238 + 0.936 = 52.226, which rounds to the reported 52.23. This is a reproducible check of the published aggregate, not an independent re-ranking. NIRF 2025 Management framework
The profile is uneven across those dimensions. FORE’s displayed GO score is its highest component, while RPC and Perception are lower. That observation describes the result’s component pattern only. It does not identify which individual indicator caused a score, establish a trend, or show that a student will experience a particular placement outcome. The framework groups many indicators under each component, and the aggregate table alone cannot explain the underlying submissions or their verification. Use the component figures to ask more specific questions, not as a substitute for programme-level evidence.
How to use this result when comparing schools
Compare only results from the same NIRF edition and category. Management and Overall rankings answer different questions; an institution’s rank in one category cannot be substituted for its rank in the other. A rank of 59 is an ordinal position within the Management category. It is not a score out of 100, a percentile, or a distance measure: the gap between ranks does not tell you how much better one programme is than another. The score is a separate composite on NIRF’s published framework, and each edition should be read with its own methodology.
The 2025 row can help establish that FORE participated and where the published Management table placed it in that edition. It cannot settle whether a specific PGDM specialisation fits your goals, indicate current teaching quality in a particular course, or predict salary. For career outcomes, use the placement report’s batch and programme scope; for admissions, use the current application rules; for fees, compare the full payable amount and exclusions. The ranking is one institution-level reference among several, and those sources measure different things.
When comparing another school, record its exact name or NIRF institute ID, city, Management category, edition, score and rank from one row. Check whether it appears in the exact-rank list or a rank band: a band such as 101-125 is not a precise rank of 101. Then inspect the parameter weights and component scores for that same edition. Do not combine a 2025 FORE result with a different year’s peer result or use the latest-looking dynamic page without confirming its edition. If a newer final NIRF Management result appears, update the comparison with its full row and edition rather than describing the 2025 rank as current indefinitely.
Limits and practical next checks
NIRF’s result table does not publish a programme-wise rank for each FORE PGDM, nor does it break this row into separate rankings for the Delhi and Gurugram campuses. The 2025 rank should therefore be treated as an institution-level Management result. It should not be assigned to a particular programme, campus, placement cohort or applicant category without a separate source that makes that link explicit.
The component scores can guide follow-up research. If research output matters to you, review FORE’s faculty publications and the evidence behind the RPC indicators rather than treating the 25.90 score as a direct measure of classroom teaching. If career outcomes matter more, use cohort-level placement reports and verify their denominators and programme scope; the GO component is broader than a salary statistic. If institutional reach or student mix matters, inspect the specific OI indicators rather than reading 62.38 as a direct measure of campus diversity. Perception is a weighted part of the framework, but its 9.36 score alone does not reveal who responded or what views drove the result.
For a decision, place the ranking beside the questions the ranking cannot answer: current programme structure and location, total fee, current admission process, the latest relevant placement cohort, and the academic areas you want to study. Keep the year visible in any saved comparison. On the evidence verified here, the defensible ranking statement is narrow: FORE’s NIRF India Rankings 2025 Management row reports rank 59 and score 52.23, with the five listed component scores. No 2026 awarded rank is claimed from the institute’s data-submission page.
