Two colleges with similar totals can be very different places to study, so it is worth reading across the row rather than only looking at the rank. TLR RPC GO OI PERCEPTION College 30% 30% 20% 10% 10% Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur 85.26 77.56 79.82 64.24 74.57 Jadavpur University 79.56 59.41 71.46 48.60 37.00 National Institute of Technology Durgapur 71.25 38.14 77.92 58.39 16.97 Indian Institute of Engineering Science and 66.32 37.75 70.93 52.44 29.71 Technology, Shibpur TLR Teaching, Learning & Resources RPC Research and Professional Practice GO Graduation Outcomes OI Outreach and Inclusivity PERCEPTION Perception Green marks a score of 70 or above; red marks below 35. Perception is scored from a survey of academics, employers and the public, so newer and regional institutions often score low there even when their teaching and outcomes are strong — read a low Perception number with that in mind rather than as a verdict on the campus. Colleges in the published rank-bands Beyond the top 100, NIRF stops assigning individual ranks and publishes institutions alphabetically inside a band. A college listed at 101–150 is not ranked 101; it is somewhere in that range, and NIRF does not say where. No scores are released for these. Source: NIRF · Visit for all rankings Page 1 of 2

aglasem Top Engineering Colleges in West Bengal · NIRF 2025 Rank-band 101-150 1 colleges from West Bengal Amity University North Twenty Four Parganas Rank-band 151-200 2 colleges from West Bengal Institute of Engineering & Management Kolkata Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology Nadia Rank-band 201-300 2 colleges from West Bengal JIS College of Engineering Kalyani Narula Institute of Technology Kolkata Present in 2024, absent in 2025 These West Bengal institutions appeared in the NIRF Engineering list in 2024 but not in 2025. That usually means the institution did not participate this cycle rather than that standards fell — participation is voluntary. A few may also have been renamed. College City 2024 position Haldia Institute of Technology Haldia 201-300 How to use this list • Entrance exams. WBJEE governs the West Bengal state quota. JEE Main is used for NIT, IIIT and GFTI seats, and JEE Advanced for the IITs. • A rank is not a ranking of your experience. NIRF measures the institution as a whole, not the individual branch, such as CSE or ECE. An institution ranked lower overall may still be the stronger choice for the one you want. • Participation is voluntary. A good college missing from this list may simply not have submitted data. Absence is not evidence of poor quality. • Bands hide detail. Inside 101–150 or 201–300 the colleges are listed alphabetically, so position in that list carries no meaning at all. • Check the year. These are the India Rankings 2025 figures, released September 2025. The 2026 edition is expected later in 2026 and will supersede them. Compiled from NIRF India Rankings 2025, including the alphabetical rank-band listings, with year-on-year movement calculated against NIRF 2024. Figures are reproduced as published.
