Frequently asked questions

Answers use counts from this page's live institute list.

How many institutes appear for BA Defence and Strategic Studies Major?: 2 institutes currently match this page’s filter. 0 of them have a numeric NIRF Engineering rank in our database.
Is “best” based on editorial opinion?: No. Where we sort or headline by rank, the order follows published NIRF Engineering ranks (nirfindia.org). Unranked institutes are not given a fabricated Knwdle rank.
What is Graduation Outcomes (GO)?: GO is an NIRF sub-score computed independently of self-reported placement packages. None of the institutes on this page currently have a GO value stored.
Why do some institutes lack a JoSAA closing rank?: Non-JoSAA admission paths (institute entrance exams, state counselling) are labeled separately. We do not invent closing ranks for those routes.
