In the latest NIRF Rankings 2024, Delhi University's Hindu College has been ranked as the best college in the country. Following closely behind are Miranda House College and St. Stephen's College, which secured the second and third positions respectively. All three colleges in the ranking belong to Delhi University. Delhi University continues to assert its dominance in the NIRF Rankings 2024, with its colleges occupying six of the top ten spots in this year's rankings.
The university's stronghold in the rankings is further demonstrated by the inclusion of Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College, Kirori Mal College, and Lady Shri Ram College in the top ten. However, in a surprising turn, Sri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), a regular feature in the rankings, did not make it to the top ten this year.

About NIRF rankings
The ranking framework evaluates institutions on five broad generic groups of parameters of teaching, learning and resources, research and professional practice, graduation outcomes, outreach and inclusivity and perception. The ranks are assigned based on the total sum of marks assigned for each of these five broad groups of parameters.
Three new categories were introduced this year, taking the total categories to 16. The higher educational institutes are listed under 16 categories -- overall, universities, medical, engineering, management, law, architecture colleges, research institutions, pharmacy, dental, agriculture and allied sectors, innovation, state universities, open universities, and skill universities. This year, as many as 10885 higher education institutions participated in the NIRF.
The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) is a ranking methodology adopted by the Education Ministry to rank higher educational institutions in India in 2015. A Core Committee constructed the methodology for ranking institutes set up by MHRD to identify the broad parameters for ranking various universities and institutions.
