The Engineering table identifies IIT Kanpur in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, with institute ID IR-E-I-1075. It reports component scores for Teaching, Learning and Resources (91.77), Research and Professional Practice (76.34), Graduation Outcomes (88.08), Outreach and Inclusivity (59.18), and Perception (78.49). The overall score is 81.82 and the rank is 4. These are institutional measures under NIRF’s framework, not programme-level scores or student guarantees.
The Overall list uses a distinct institute ID, IR-O-I-1075, and reports score 77.25 and rank 5. Do not transfer the Engineering rank or score to the Overall category. Similarly, a ranking from another publisher or an international list is a different measure and should not be inserted into this NIRF series.
Use the 2025 result as one dated comparison point. Compare institutions in the same publisher, edition and category. A rank can help shortlist, but it cannot tell you whether a specific undergraduate programme, curriculum, teaching style or career path matches your needs. For those questions, compare programme information and student outcomes with matching years and clear denominators.
NIRF component scores also need context. They describe how an institution scored under the framework; they are not a satisfaction percentage or a direct measure of an individual student’s experience. Consider them alongside course structure, fees, location and the outcomes that matter to you.
The official NIRF material reviewed here contains 2025 result tables. The NIRF Data Capturing System notice concerns 2026 submissions, not a 2026 ranking result. No 2026 IIT Kanpur rank is claimed. When a new result is published, update Engineering and Overall separately and retain the category, score, year and official result link.
