• Christ University’s strongest Collegedunia streams are BBA (rank 2) and Mass Communication (rank 3), where it competes with national leaders across all institution types.
• The university’s Management rank (108) is considerably lower than its BBA rank (2), reflecting how differently Collegedunia’s methodology weighs postgraduate management programmes versus undergraduate BBA programmes.

Christ University NIRF Ranking 2025

Christ University appears in six NIRF 2025 categories: Overall, Universities, Management, Law, Engineering, and Architecture.

Christ University NIRF Overall Ranking

In the NIRF Overall category, Christ University has fluctuated between 90th and 100th over the past three years, with 2024 representing the strongest position in this window. The 2025 rank of 96th (score 49.65) is a six-place decline from 90th in 2024 (score 48.66), while still an improvement over the 100th position in 2023.

The score rose from 45.65 in 2023 to 49.65 in 2025, a gain of 4 points over two cycles, even as the rank moved between 90 and 100. This reflects the competitive nature of the Overall category, where a small score improvement can still result in a higher numerical rank due to the growing number of participating institutions.

Christ University NIRF Universities Ranking

In the NIRF Universities category, Christ University has maintained a relatively stable band between 60th and 67th over three years. The 2025 rank is 63rd (score 50.92), down slightly from 60th in 2024 (score 49.87).

The university’s score in the Universities category increased from 46.88 in 2023 to 50.92 in 2025, a rise of 4.04 points. The rank range of 60-67 across three years points to a competitive cluster of institutions in this band.

Christ University NIRF Management Ranking

In the NIRF Management category, Christ University held the 60th position in both 2023 and 2024 before improving to 57th in 2025 (score 52.47). This is the first upward movement in this stream in three years.

The three-rank improvement to 57th in 2025 accompanies a score increase of approximately 2 points from the prior two years’ consistent 50.56-50.69 range.

Christ University NIRF Law Ranking

Christ University’s NIRF Law rank has shifted considerably over the three-year window available. It was ranked 13th in 2023 and 15th in 2024, then moved to 24th in 2025 (score 58.4). This is a factual downward shift of 11 positions from the 2023 baseline despite a higher raw score in 2025 (58.4 versus 57.78 in 2023), which indicates that more law schools entered or improved within the NIRF Law category over this period.

Christ University’s Law score dropped slightly from 59.39 in 2024 to 58.4 in 2025 while the rank moved from 15th to 24th. The underlying parameter breakdown for the Law category has not been publicly disaggregated, so the precise drivers of this movement are not confirmed by NIRF’s published data.

Christ University NIRF Engineering Ranking

The Engineering category shows the largest rank improvement in Christ University’s NIRF trajectory. After being placed in the 101-150 band in 2023 (no single-point rank published for that year), the university improved to 93rd in 2024 and further to 76th in 2025 (score 49.03). This represents a move from the lower end of the second hundred to a confirmed position within the top 80.

The score rose from 45.02 in 2024 to 49.03 in 2025, a gain of 4.01 points in one cycle. The rank improved by 17 positions in the same year.

Christ University NIRF Architecture Ranking

Christ University appeared in the NIRF Architecture category for the first time in 2025, ranking 34th with a score of 51.79. Multi-year trend data is not available as this is the university’s first inclusion in this category.
