The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2025 rankings, released by the Ministry of Education, have reaffirmed Hindu College, University of Delhi, as the No. 1 college in India. Known for its academic excellence, research culture, and strong placement records, Hindu College has maintained its dominance in the Colleges category for another year.

Miranda House, another premier Delhi University college, secured the second position, continuing its long-standing reputation as a top women’s college in the country.

A major highlight of this year’s rankings is Hansraj College overtaking St. Stephen’s College to claim the third position. Hansraj’s rise is attributed to its performance across parameters such as research, teaching quality, inclusivity, and graduate outcomes. St. Stephen’s, traditionally considered among DU’s most prestigious colleges, slipped to fourth place in the 2025 rankings.
