BMCRI has not appeared in NIRF’s published Medical rankings across the three most recent cycles (2023, 2024, 2025).

BMCRI Ranking FAQs

Ques. What is BMCRI’s rank among medical colleges in India in 2025-26?

Ans. Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute (BMCRI) ranks 22nd in the Collegedunia 2026 Medical Colleges list and 16th in the India Today 2025 medical college survey. The two agencies use different evaluation methodologies and participating college pools, which accounts for the difference between the published figures. Both surveys cover government and private medical colleges across India.

Ques. Why does BMCRI not have a NIRF ranking?

Ans. BMCRI has not submitted institutional data through the NIRF annual exercise for 2023, 2024, or 2025, which is why it does not appear in NIRF’s published Medical rankings. NIRF ranks only institutions that participate voluntarily in the data submission process. Absence from NIRF is a participation status, not a reflection of academic performance relative to NIRF-listed colleges.

Ques. How has BMCRI’s India Today medical ranking changed between 2023 and 2025?

India Today’s survey pool changes from year to year as new colleges are added or removed, which can affect relative rank positions across cycles even without a change in BMCRI’s own evaluated score.
