🇮🇳 988 institutions
India's universities, and what nobody publishes about them.
988 universities, institutes of technology and deemed universities across 34 states and union territories. Every other comparison site will show you fees and ratings for these institutions. We won't, and the reason is worth reading.
Why there are no fees, rankings or salaries on this page
India doesn't publish them openly
There is no Indian equivalent of the US College Scorecard. No public dataset gives per-institution tuition, entry cut-offs, or what graduates go on to earn. The NIRF rankings exist but are All Rights Reserved. The NITI Aayog data platform reserves all rights too.
The numbers you see elsewhere are unsourced
Indian comparison sites show fee ranges and star ratings for thousands of colleges. Those figures generally carry no stated source or methodology, and many of those sites earn money by passing your details to the colleges they rank. We would rather show you less and tell you where it came from.
Where this list comes from:Wikidata, released under CC0. It is community-maintained, not an official government register — so it will have gaps and the occasional error. The Ministry of Education's AISHE directory is the authoritative source; we have asked for permission to use it and will switch the moment it is granted.
