A very important news is coming for the students and parents who want to take admission in higher educational institutions of the country. The prestigious Indian Institutional Ranking Framework (IIRF) has released the latest list of India’s best universities, IITs and IIMs for the year 2026. This time’s ranking has been very interesting and shocking, because Delhi’s prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has once again retained its old charm and left Delhi University (DU) and Jamia Millia Islamia far behind. Let us know which technical institute and management college of the country has won the number one crown this year.
JNU’s dominance continues, DU and Jamia will have to wait more
According to IIRF Ranking 2026, Jawaharlal Nehru University has secured the first position in the country in the category of Central Universities on the basis of its excellent research, world-class faculty and excellent academic performance. At the same time, Delhi University (DU), which is considered the first choice of students across the country, and Jamia Millia Islamia, which is performing well, have got a place in the top three, but they could not dethrone JNU from the first position. Experts believe that JNU’s continuous stay at the top proves that even today this institution has no equal in the matter of higher education and research.
This IIT raised the flag of success in the great competition of engineering.
If we talk about the most prestigious technical institutes of the country i.e. IITs, then this year too the battle to reach the top was very exciting. This time also there was a close contest between Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) and IIT Bombay (IIT Bombay) on the basis of various parameters of ranking like placement record, infrastructure and reputation in the corporate world. At the same time, IIT Delhi has also registered its strong presence in the top three. These top IITs have made India proud at the global level this year in terms of new-age startups and patent filings, due to which they have been awarded the best ranking.
King of Management: This IIM became famous across the country
This time there was a tough competition in the category of dream college of students studying business and management i.e. IIM. Like always, this year also Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM Ahmedabad) has retained its title of the best business school in the country. Right behind this, IIM Bangalore and IIM Calcutta have confirmed their places. Even during the global recession, the record-breaking domestic and international placement packages given by these institutions to their students have played the biggest role in keeping them at the top of the rankings this year.
