India’s leading universities, with a vibrant presence across 10 campuses in different parts of
the country.

One of the key factors contributing to this year’s strong ranking was Amrita’s extensive
global collaborations. The university has forged academic and research partnerships with
over 200 leading institutions worldwide, including Harvard University, Columbia
University, King’s College London, and the University of Tokyo. These alliances have
enabled cutting-edge research, student exchange programs, and a dynamic culture of
innovation that strengthens Amrita’s role as a globally connected institution.

multiple disciplines:

 Overall Category: 17
 Research: 31
 Engineering: 23
 Management: 26
 Pharmacy: 14
 Dental: 14
Commenting on the achievement, Dr. P. Venkat Rangan, Vice Chancellor, Amrita Vishwa
Vidyapeetham, said, “Being consistently ranked in the Top 10 universities of India and once
again among the Top 10 medical colleges reflects Amrita’s unwavering focus on quality
education and compassion-driven research. Under the vision of our Chancellor, Sri Mata
Amritanandamayi, we have set benchmarks that balance world-class academics with a strong
commitment to societal good. I am deeply grateful to our faculty, staff, and students whose
tireless contributions make this recognition possible.”

The NIRF framework evaluates institutions across five key parameters—Teaching,
Learning & Resources; Research & Professional Practice; Graduation Outcomes;
Outreach & Inclusivity; and Perception.

recognition. It received the highest A++ grade from NAAC in 2021 and was placed among
the Top 50 universities globally in THE University Impact Rankings 2023 for its
contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
