Hansraj College Soars to New Heights: Ranked 3rd in NIRF 2025
Hansraj College is immensely proud of its stellar performance in India Rankings 2025. National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) has reaffirmed the status of Hansraj College as a leading institution of higher learning in India by granting it the 3rd position. This recognition is a testimony to the college’s commitment to academic excellence, advanced pedagogy, research initiatives and focus on holistic student development in conjunction with the aims of NEP 2020. In a landmark accomplishment, Hansraj College has climbed to the 3rd position, up from the 12th position in the previous accreditation assessment.
Established in 1948, Hansraj College has a distinguished history of providing quality higher education across a variety of disciplines. With a rigorous emphasis on interdisciplinarity, innovative learning environment and societal engagement, the institution continues to contribute to the teaching-learning experience, one milestone at a time. In sync with the teachings of its founders – Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati and Mahatma Hansraj, the college has always prioritized ethics-oriented education so that the students are in touch with their national heritage and cultural legacies. Commenting on the achievement, the principal, Prof. Rama stated that “We are never solely influenced by ranking. Our main goal is that we continue to provide value-oriented education and honour the legacy of our founders. For me, college is not only an institution but also a family. Every member of this family – be it professors, students, non-teaching staff or any well-wisher of the college, is collectively responsible for this accomplishment.”
While it is deeply rooted in its history, Hansraj College is very cognizant of global developments and cosmopolitan perspectives and strives to impart skill sets that cater to the contemporary needs of the students, bridging the gap between the ‘taught reality of the class’ and ‘lived-reality of the outside world.’ The cutting-edge infrastructure and distinguished faculty ensure that sky’s the limit for anyone inspired by the pursuit of knowledge.
