Among universities, Bharathidasan University climbed up the ladder to 67th from its 88th rank last year among. It managed to secure 94th in overall rankings to be among the only two institutions from Trichy in the top 100.


Bishop Heber College (BHC) was declared third best college in the country as it improved its ranking from fourth last year. BHC is now best in the state as per NIRF. However, Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Trichy slid from 13th rank last year to 15th this year among management institutions across the country.


NIT-T director Mini Shaji Thomas congratulated all members including faculty, staff and students who worked hard to achieve this feat. “We had stiff competition from other institutions. We will analyse the results carefully, take feedback from stakeholders and improve in the coming years with support from all. We missed the 9th and 10th positions by a whisker,” she said.
