The latest ranking material located for the Institute of Technology & Science (ITS) UG Campus in Ghaziabad is labelled 2026. The available evidence is mixed: the institute reports several programme rankings, but the ranking pages available from the named publishers do not expose every corresponding college row or its methodology. Treat the numbers below according to their source and scope; do not combine them into one overall college rank.
Results reported for 2026
ITS's Awards and Ranking page labels its section “ITS 2026 Ranking”. It lists India Today-MDRA survey entries for BBA and BCA and Global Human Resource Development Centre (GHRDC) entries for BBA and BCA. The page does not give an exact rank for those four entries in the accessible text. A separate line says that the BBA programme was ranked 9th in India among Best Colleges for BBA by Competition Success Review (CSR), in its March 2026 edition. That is an institution-published claim with publisher, category, country scope and edition stated. It should be read as “ITS reports that CSR ranked its BBA programme 9th”; the public source trail available for this update did not independently expose the corresponding CSR table row.
This distinction matters. A college's own awards page is direct evidence of what the institution reports, but it is not the same as a readable result table from the ranking publisher. We therefore do not present the CSR position as independently verified, and we do not assign numeric positions to the India Today-MDRA or GHRDC entries where the accessible evidence supplies no row. The 2026 labels establish the editions ITS identifies, not the relative position of its BBA or BCA in those surveys.
What the publisher pages establish
The GHRDC BBA 2026 page and GHRDC BCA 2026 page identify their respective national programme categories. GHRDC says its rankings depend on voluntary participation and that its methodology rates participating institutes against defined parameters. The rendered pages reviewed here did not show an ITS row, a rank or a score. That is a limit of the accessible result, not proof that ITS did not participate or was not ranked. Applicants seeking a precise GHRDC result should ask ITS or GHRDC for the original 2026 table and the institute's category, score and participation status.
India Today's ranking portal has a dedicated BBA colleges 2026 list, but the accessible result did not let us confirm an ITS row and exact position there. A separate India Today ITS UG Institute profile identifies the Ghaziabad campus and displays a “Rank over years” panel with 52 for 2026 and 51 for 2025. The panel does not name a subject category in the available text. Those figures should therefore not be described as the BBA or BCA positions, nor treated as directly comparable with the institute's programme-specific award claims. The one-place difference is visible in that profile panel, but its meaning is unclear without the ranking category and method.
Is ITS improving?
The evidence reviewed does not establish a like-for-like trend for BBA or BCA. A valid trend would require the same publisher, programme category, geographic scope and ranking method in both editions, with the relevant ranks visible. ITS's page names 2026 survey entries, while older entries on its archive refer to different years and publishers or categories. Those cannot be assembled into a single time series. The India Today profile's 2025 and 2026 values are consecutive, but its panel does not disclose enough category detail to infer a BBA/BCA movement. No improvement claim is justified from the accessible evidence.
How to use these results in a shortlist
Use the institution-reported CSR #9 claim as a lead to verify, not as a standalone quality verdict. Ask for the CSR March 2026 table page and confirm whether “Best Colleges for BBA” is a national list, how many institutions it covers and what the ranking measures. For India Today-MDRA and GHRDC, request the exact BBA and BCA category tables rather than relying on an award heading. A publisher's rank is meaningful only alongside its category and method; a position from one survey cannot be compared numerically with another publisher's position.
Also keep programme evidence separate from overall institutional indicators. These claims concern BBA or BCA surveys, not every course at the Ghaziabad campus. They do not establish teaching quality, placement outcomes, admission selectivity or a government accreditation grade. Compare those questions using their own dated evidence. In particular, an accreditation grade is not a ranking position, and a placement report for a particular cohort cannot validate a ranking claim.
The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) should be treated separately. ITS links to NIRF 2025 materials, and the institute appears in NIRF's 2025 participating-college list. Participation or submitted institutional data does not by itself establish a published rank. The ranking table accessible for this review did not confirm a numeric ITS position, so this page does not call ITS NIRF-ranked or unranked. Check the exact NIRF category and result table before using a NIRF figure in a comparison.
Evidence status
As of 5 November 2026, the best-supported current statement is that ITS publicly reports a CSR March 2026 BBA rank of 9th in India and lists India Today-MDRA and GHRDC 2026 BBA/BCA survey entries without visible positions. The CSR rank remains institution-reported in this review. India Today's profile separately shows 52 (2026) and 51 (2025) in a category-unspecified rank panel. None of these sources, as currently accessible, supports a verified programme-specific improvement trend. A student comparing colleges should obtain the original publisher tables and compare the same programme category and edition before assigning weight to any one number.
