Latest official result: NIRF Management 2025
The latest NIRF result listed on IIM Rohtak’s ranking page is 19th in the Management category in India Rankings 2025. The Ministry of Education’s 2025 report independently lists IIM Rohtak at rank 19 in that category. This is an institution-level Management ranking, not a separate rank for the two-year PGP, IPM or IPL programme.
At the time of this check, the institute’s public NIRF page lists the 2025 submission and earlier reports; the Ministry’s 2025 report is the latest publicly captured result. A 2026 data-submission cycle or institutional filing is not itself a published 2026 ranking. Confirm the edition on the Ministry’s result page before comparing a later intake.
NIRF rank is useful as one broad indicator of institutional standing within a national category. It does not tell an applicant whether a specific curriculum, fee, location, class size, placement outcome or learning environment is the best fit. Use the edition and category name alongside the rank rather than shortening it to “ranked 19” without context.
How IIM Rohtak’s NIRF position has moved
The position improved by four places from 2022 to 2023, stayed at 12 in 2024, then moved down seven places in 2025. That describes the published sequence; it does not explain why the rank changed. NIRF rankings compare institutions on a multi-factor framework. An annual rank movement alone does not identify which component caused a change or whether a particular programme improved or weakened.
Avoid using a rank trend as a proxy for salary outcomes. For placements, compare the relevant PGP cohort’s average and median CTC, cohort size, placement denominator and report year separately. For academic choice, check programme structure, eligibility, total costs and campus arrangements. These measures answer different questions.
Match the ranking to the question you are asking
The Ministry’s Management category includes institutions that offer management education, including management programmes within technical universities. It is not a ranking limited to standalone business schools or to IIMs. A same-category comparison is still more useful than mixing NIRF Management with a global programme list, an old award or an institute-specific marketing claim.
IIM Rohtak’s Ranking and Outreach page also lists historical items such as QS 2024, Outlook-ICARE 2021 and awards from earlier years. Those entries are not substitutes for a current result. If you use one, keep the publisher, edition, programme or category and year attached to it; do not present a 2020 or 2021 distinction as the latest ranking.
For a short shortlist, start with NIRF Management 2025 rank 19 as the latest published national category result captured here. Then compare the actual programmes you may join: the PGP is a postgraduate management degree, whereas the institute also offers distinct integrated management and law programmes. A broad institutional rank cannot make those routes interchangeable.
What goes into the NIRF Management score
NIRF’s 2025 Management framework gives 30% weight each to Teaching, Learning and Resources and Research and Professional Practice. Graduation Outcomes count for 20%, while Outreach and Inclusivity and Perception count for 10% each. In practical terms, six tenths of the weighted score comes from institutional resources and research-related measures; one fifth covers graduation outcomes, including placement and higher studies, examinations and median salary. Diversity, inclusion and peer perception make up the remainder.
These weights help explain what the category is designed to compare, but they do not reveal IIM Rohtak’s individual component scores or explain why its rank moved from 12 to 19. Do not attribute the movement to placements, faculty, research or perception without checking the published institution-level scores for both editions. The framework also gives no direct score for whether a particular applicant will prefer a programme’s curriculum, cost or campus. The Ministry’s result table displays component scores beside the overall rank, so applicants can compare the five measures across editions; this still does not identify a single cause of movement. Use the published rank as one context point and examine the underlying decision evidence separately. The weights described here are the Management framework for the 2025 edition, not a guarantee that future editions retain the same method.
A practical way to use rankings
Treat the rank as a screening signal, then inspect the underlying decision factors. First check that both institutions are in the same category and edition. Next compare the programme rather than the institutional label: curriculum, eligibility, fees, residential arrangements, placement reports and the cohort each report covers. Finally, decide which differences matter most to your budget, location needs and intended role.
NIRF’s annual table does not publish a promise about an applicant’s outcome. It also cannot settle the unresolved differences between placement report definitions or replace a current offer letter. The 2025 Management rank is a fixed historical result; update this page when NIRF releases a newer public ranking and preserve the old edition as history.
