NIRF Ranking 2020 – Top Govt Engineering Colleges in India

NIRF Ranking 2020 – Top Govt Engineering Colleges in India – The National Ranking Framework (NIRF) has released the rankings of top 200 engineering colleges in the country. IIT Madras is the top engineering college in the country. But do you know which are the top government engineering colleges that are listed in the NIRF Rankings 2020? Because the rankings include both public and private colleges. When we checked, all the colleges inside the Top 10 and eighteen colleges inside the top 20 are government engineering colleges. Meaning, the top positions in NIRF Engineering Rankings 2020 mostly went to government colleges. But still only 94 of the Top 200 colleges are government colleges. This means that once you look beyond the IITs, NITs and a few state-engineering colleges, the rest are not that good.

Among the states, Uttar Pradesh has maximum 9 government engineering colleges in NIRF Ranking 2020. It is followed by Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Delhi with 7 each.
