Manipal University Jaipur Climbs NIRF 2025-26 Rankings, Gaining National Recognition

Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ) has climbed the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) chart, securing the 95th spot in the 2025‑26 edition. The move underlines the institution’s sustained focus on strengthening research, teaching, and infrastructure.

The NIRF assessment, conducted annually by the Ministry of Education, evaluates universities across six parameters: Teaching, Learning & Resources; Research & Professional Practices; Graduation Outcomes; Outreach & Inclusivity; Perception; and Institutional Growth. MUJ’s earlier ranking in 2024 placed it at 107th, so the recent rise marks a notable improvement in its overall score.

For students in Udupi district and across Karnataka, the improved standing could influence enrollment decisions, as higher NIRF rankings often translate into better exposure and scholarship opportunities. Moreover, the university’s fetch upgrades may boost collaboration prospects with nearby institutions. Source: Google News – Manipal.
