MNIT Jaipur’s latest NIRF positions verified for this page are from 2025: 42 in Engineering, 77 Overall, 12 in Architecture and Planning, 62 in Management, and 50 in Research Institutions. It also falls in the 11–50 rank band for Sustainable Development Goals. These figures come from different NIRF categories and should not be read as interchangeable measures of one programme. The Engineering position is the most directly relevant of these for applicants comparing engineering institutions. MNIT’s official NIRF page lists the category results, while the Ministry of Education’s NIRF Engineering results provide the national Engineering list.
MNIT’s latest published NIRF positions
The rows are category-specific national positions, not a single combined league table. An applicant considering BTech or another engineering programme should focus first on the Engineering result. The Overall list uses a wider institutional scope; Architecture and Planning, Management, Research Institutions and Sustainable Development Goals each have their own category definitions. In particular, a rank in one of these categories should not be used as a proxy for the quality or outcome of every course at MNIT.
What changed from 2024 to 2025?
MNIT’s November 2025 newsletter reports that its NIRF Engineering position moved from 43 in 2024 to 42 in 2025. Its Overall position moved from 82 to 77, Architecture and Planning from 15 to 12, and Management from 68 to 62. Lower rank numbers represent higher positions, so these are improvements of 1, 5, 3 and 6 places respectively. The newsletter’s figures match the Engineering position in the official NIRF results and the institute’s current homepage. For the Engineering category, the published score rose from 56.35 in 2024 to 57.45 in 2025, a 1.10-point increase calculated by subtracting the earlier score from the later one.
This is a one-year comparison, not proof of a sustained upward trajectory. A rank is relative to other institutions in that edition, so movement can reflect changes in MNIT’s score, other institutions’ scores, or both. The score comparison adds context for Engineering, but it does not reveal which inputs caused the change. The institute’s newsletter presents the 2024-to-2025 figures; read its category comparisons with that period attached rather than carrying them forward as current-year results.
What the Engineering rank measures
NIRF’s 2025 Engineering framework assigns 30% weight each to Teaching, Learning and Resources and Research and Professional Practice, 20% to Graduation Outcomes, and 10% each to Outreach and Inclusivity and Perception. The published sub-metrics include faculty and student resources, research publications and quality, patents and projects, placement and higher studies, median salary, regional and gender diversity, support for disadvantaged students, accessibility and peer perception. This mix makes the rank broader than a placement table, but it also means the final position cannot tell an applicant how a specific branch performs on its own.
Use the rank as one shortlisting signal. For a branch-level decision, compare the relevant programme, current admission route and category-specific closing ranks, curriculum, fees and programme-level outcome data. Those questions require their own current sources; the NIRF institutional position does not answer them. A rise in MNIT’s overall rank should not be used to infer that every department improved equally.
Which edition should a 2027 applicant use?
MNIT’s rankings page has a section labelled NIRF 2026, but the page’s displayed ranking summary gives 2025 results, and the institute homepage also identifies 42nd in Engineering for NIRF 2025. No 2026 position was available in the official result summary checked on 1 November 2026. The latest verified figures for this page are therefore the 2025 edition, not 2026 and not a rank specifically for the 2027 intake.
Before finalising a shortlist, recheck MNIT’s rankings page and the NIRF ranking portal for a newer edition. Compare the same publisher, category and scope across years. For understanding how the current Engineering list is constructed, consult the NIRF 2025 Engineering framework. The NIRF result can help compare institutional standing; it cannot by itself establish that a particular branch is the best fit, predict admission chances, or guarantee a student outcome.
The 2025 Engineering framework assigns 30% each to Teaching, Learning and Resources and Research and Professional Practice, 20% to Graduation Outcomes, and 10% apiece to Outreach and Inclusivity and Perception. The Graduation Outcomes block itself includes placement and higher studies, examinations, median salary and PhD graduates. The rank therefore combines institutional inputs, research, outcomes, inclusion and peer perception; it cannot identify which department contributed the result or forecast an individual student’s placement. Compare like-for-like Engineering editions for institutional context, then use branch-level reports, course fit, costs and current entry rules for an individual decision.
