Latest published result located: India Rankings 2025
Jamia Hamdard’s annual report for 2024–25 records its India Rankings 2025 positions as 1st in Pharmacy, 47th in University, 74th Overall, 40th in Medical and 87th in Management. These are five different NIRF categories, not five interchangeable measurements of one programme. For a pharmacy applicant, the Pharmacy result is the closest category-level signal; a medical applicant may also look at Medical, while a management applicant should use Management. The University and Overall categories have broader institutional scopes. None gives an individual course’s teaching quality, placement guarantee or admission chance.
The annual report says NIRF considers teaching and learning resources, research and professional practices, graduation outcomes, outreach and inclusivity, and perception. That breadth helps explain why one institution can stand at a very different position across categories. The Pharmacy result cannot be transferred to medicine or management, and the Overall position should not be read as a course-level ranking. Jamia’s own results archive separates its certificates under Pharmacy, Medical, University, Overall and Management, reinforcing the need to compare like with like.
Read the rank with its edition and category
The university report identifies these as India Rankings 2025 results. Jamia’s rankings archive reviewed here groups certificates under a 2025 heading and names the Pharmacy, Medical, University, Overall and Management categories. I have used the dated 2025 report and certificate archive, not a dynamically served category table whose edition is not clear in the captured view. The evidence in this guide is therefore tied to 2025. Check both Jamia’s archive and NIRF’s results portal before relying on any later figure.
A rank is an ordinal position within a specific category and edition. It does not show the distance between institutions. Jamia’s annual report gives positions but not the underlying scores for every category in the same passage, so the table below does not imply that the gap between ranks is uniform. NIRF categories also use a composite framework; a high standing in a particular field reflects the framework’s submitted and assessed inputs, not a direct comparison of every student’s classroom experience.
For applicants comparing two course offers, a category rank is best treated as a screening signal, not a tie-breaker on its own. First match the category to the field, then verify each programme’s eligibility, curriculum, current approvals, campus and published outcomes. Compare placement figures only when the graduating group, reporting year and salary measure align. A university-level figure may pool schools with very different courses, while an institutional rank does not tell you the teaching or facilities of the department you will join. These are limits of what the reported category position can establish, not criticisms of the ranking exercise. Ask the department for current course-specific information when the public report does not separate it.
NAAC is accreditation, not another rank
Jamia’s annual report lists its fourth-cycle NAAC accreditation as A+ with a CGPA of 3.41, awarded in 2023 and valid through 14 December 2028. NAAC accreditation and NIRF rankings answer different questions. The accreditation is a validity-bound assessment of the institution against NAAC’s accreditation framework; NIRF positions compare institutions within named categories and editions. An A+ grade does not mean “ranked A+,” and the Pharmacy rank does not extend the NAAC validity period.
For a shortlist, use these records as context and then check what the ranking cannot settle: whether the exact course is offered in the intended academic year, its admission route, current fee schedule, regulator approval where applicable, and programme-specific placement evidence. In particular, do not use the university’s Pharmacy position as evidence for a medicine or management programme. The Jamia admission notice and prospectus pages, course pages and latest official outcome tables are the relevant next checks for those decisions.
Before relying on a newer number
Open Jamia’s rankings archive and the NIRF results portal and confirm that a result is labelled with the institution, category and year. Save the dated certificate or category result rather than relying on a homepage badge or a table whose edition is not visible. If Jamia later posts a 2026 certificate, update the matching category only; do not replace every category position with a single headline rank. For course selection, compare the same discipline and cycle, then use programme-level evidence for the decision itself. Do this before deciding.
