1. Background
AcommonOverallrankingwasintroducedforinstitutionsthathaveaminimumof1000studentsfromtheyear2017
onwards in addition to the category-specific and domain-specific rankings so as to provide a common view of
comparable institutions across categories and disciplines. This practice is being continued for past three years
including for the current year. In the year 2016, rankingswere announced for Universities and for the specific
disciplines of Engineering,Management and Pharmacy. In 2017, in addition to these four rankings, the Overall
ranking,andrankingofGeneralDegreeCollegeswasintroducedforthefirsttime.Intheyear2018,whilecontinuing
withabovementionedsixrankings,threedomain-specificrankingsinthefieldsofLaw,MedicineandArchitecture
wereintroducedbringingthetallytototalninerankings,i.e.OverallRanking(1),Category-SpecificRankings(2–
