Madhya Pradesh had a more limited but still noticeable presence in the 2025 NIRF Engineering rankings, largely through a combination of national-level institutes and regional universities. Although no institution from the state broke into the top 100, several appeared in the mid-level bands.
In the 101–150 band, one name stood out: the Pandit Dwarka Prasad Mishra Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing (IIITDM) Jabalpur. With its specialised mandate in design and manufacturing, this centrally funded institution anchors the state’s representation at the national level.
The 151–200 band included the Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT), Bhopal, one of the premier NITs in the country. Alongside it was the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Bhopal, which has been steadily gaining visibility as part of the newer generation of IIITs. Supporting them in this group was the Institute of Engineering & Management (IEM) at Indore, representing the private sector’s contribution.
The wider 201–300 band featured a spread of universities and private colleges across the state. Notable among them were Rabindranath Tagore University, Raisen; Prestige Institute of Engineering, Indore; and Technocrats Institute of Technology, Bhopal. Colleges like Oriental Institute of Science and Technology and People’s University in Bhopal also figured in this band, underlining how the capital city has become a hub for engineering education in central India. Together, these institutions reflect a tiered system in which MANIT remains the state’s technical flagship, with others spread across both government and private categories adding depth.
