Union Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister has released the ‘India Ranking Report 2017’ today. In it’s second year, the government has introduced two new categories — the top 100 best colleges and best education institutes across all disciplines.

Started last year, this year too, the Ministry has given the list of the top universities, best management, engineering and pharmacy colleges.
