The Committee took into consideration several parameters such as teaching/learning resources, Research, Professional Practice & Collaborative Performance, graduation outcomes, outreach and perception. The data for the first four parameters was submitted by the institutions and verified by National Institutional Ranking Framework. For the perception criterion, feedback from various stakeholders was sought.

Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore has topped this list, with a score of 91.81. The second and third ranks have been received by Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi, respectively.
