How Banasthali Vidyapith Compares
The most useful peer lens is NIRF, since it ranks Banasthali Vidyapith against every other Indian university and pharmacy school on identical metrics. The table below places Banasthali Vidyapith's verified NIRF 2025 ranks beside the implied competitive context of each band, so you can judge how selective each result is. It answers "how good is a #22 or #66 really?" by tying each rank to the national pool it was drawn from. Only Banasthali Vidyapith's own verified figures are stated as hard numbers.
| NIRF 2025 Category | Banasthali Vidyapith Rank | Score | Competitive read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pharmacy | #22 | 63.96 | Inside the national Top 25 pharmacy institutions |
| University | #66 | 50.65 | Inside the national Top 70 universities |
| Engineering | #71 | 50.38 | Just outside the national Top 70 engineering schools |
Reading these together, Banasthali Vidyapith is most competitive in Pharmacy, where a #22 NIRF 2025 rank and 63.96 score place it among India's leading pharmacy destinations. Its University rank of #66 makes it one of the higher-placed women's deemed universities in the country, while Engineering at #71 is solid but a notch behind its pharmacy standing. Globally, the QS Asia 2026 #741 and THE 2026 #1201 placements confirm it is visible on international indices, though, as with most India-focused universities, its domestic NIRF numbers are the more decisive benchmark for an applicant.
