West Bengal is one of the few states in our directory where state universities and colleges outnumber private and deemed institutes combined. IIT Kharagpur — one of India's oldest IITs — leads the state's NIRF-ranked set at #5 nationally, followed by Jadavpur University, NIT Durgapur and the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur.
