The NationalInstitute Ranking Framework (NIRF-2023) released on Monday witnessed a slide in overall ranking of institutes inVidarbha, including noted ones like Visvesvaraya National institute of technology (VNIT), Ramdeobaba College of Engineering and Management (RCEOM), GH Raisoni College of Engineering (GHRCE), Institute of Management Technology (IMT), and others.

Ever since the launch ofNIRFrankings, NU, celebrating its centenary year, has never broken into the top 200. On the other hand, Mumbai and Pune universities feature among the top 100, although their rankings too slipped this year.
The Government Institute of Science also broke into the top 100 for the first time and bagged 83rd rank. Last year, it was in the bracket of 101-150. The Wardha-based Kumbhalkar College of Social Work is a new entrant in this category featuring among 101-150 colleges. Shivaji Science College is the only one from Amravati to figure among top 150-200.
