MTech Colleges in India are top-tier universities that offer degree courses through GATE in many fields of engineering and technology. Admission to these colleges is largely determined by applicants' GATE scores, which assess their aptitude in terms of design ideas and problem-solving skills.
On September 29, 2015, the Honorable Minister of Human Resource Development developed and approved the National Institutional Ranking Framework or NIRF. It provides a system for classifying institutions throughout the country.
Generally, different schools and universities are evaluated using attributes such as "Teaching, Learning and Resources", "Research and Professional Practices", "Graduate Results", "Achievement and Engagement" and "Perception".
In 2023, institutes that have participated in various application portals are listed in their NIRF rankings.
