Mizoram University

How is Mizoram University ranked in 2026?

As of June 2026, the most recent national ranking for Mizoram University, Aizawl, is its NIRF 2025 placement at Rank #82 in the University category with a score of 49.21. The NIRF 2026 list has not yet been released, so this 2025 result remains the current benchmark for the central university. Internationally, Mizoram University sits in the 741-750 band of the QS World University Rankings: Asia 2026. The university also holds a NAAC A+ accreditation with a CGPA of 3.30, a milestone it celebrated in August 2025, and it was placed 15th among Central Universities in the NIRF 2025 University category.

For an aspirant, these figures place Mizoram University as a consistently top-100 national university and one of the stronger central universities in the North-East, even though its rank has softened slightly in the most recent cycle. The sections below set out the exact year-wise numbers, the direction of travel, and how the university stacks up against its peers.

Year-Wise Rankings

The table below collects Mizoram University's verified rankings across the bodies that actually assess it: the Ministry of Education's NIRF (University category), QS Asia, and the IIRF. It answers the practical question "what rank and score did Mizoram University earn, and in which year?" Read it top to bottom to see how the NIRF rank and score moved between 2023, 2024 and 2025, and note that NIRF reports a numeric rank only inside the top 100, using bands (such as 101-150) below that. NIRF 2026 figures are not included because the framework had not published them as of June 2026.

The clearest takeaway is that Mizoram University's NIRF score actually rose from 48.03 in 2024 to 49.21 in 2025, yet its rank slipped from #77 to #82 over the same period. That combination tells an applicant that competing universities improved faster, not that Mizoram University declined. Crucially, it has stayed inside the NIRF top 100 in 2023, 2024 and 2025, which is a meaningful marker of stability for a central university located in the North-East.

Ranking Trajectory of Mizoram University

Mizoram University's NIRF University rank moved from #76 in 2023 to #77 in 2024 and then to #82 in 2025, having sat in the 101-150 band as recently as 2022. In other words, the university broke firmly into the numeric top 100 around 2023 and has held that territory since. The headline drop of five places between 2024 and 2025 looks worse than the underlying performance: the assessed score climbed from 48.03 to 49.21 across those two cycles, so Mizoram University was scored higher even as its position eased.

This pattern is common for institutions clustered near the score boundary where many universities are separated by fractions of a point. For an aspirant, the signal is that Mizoram University is improving in absolute terms on the parameters NIRF measures (teaching and learning resources, research, graduation outcomes, outreach and inclusivity, and perception), while the broader competitive field is tightening. The NAAC A+ grade with a 3.30 CGPA, formally celebrated in August 2025, reinforces that the university's institutional quality is being independently validated alongside its NIRF standing.

How Mizoram University Compares

Within the central university system, Mizoram University was placed 15th among Central Universities in the NIRF 2025 University category, and it had earlier been ranked 13th among Central Universities by the IIRF in 2023. The table below positions its NIRF 2025 University result against other verifiable reference points so an applicant can read its standing at a glance. It answers the question "is a #82 NIRF rank good for a North-East central university?" by showing both the national and the central-university view.

For an applicant, the comparison shows Mizoram University as a solidly mid-tier central university nationally and a leading higher-education institution in Mizoram and the wider North-East. A #82 NIRF University rank in 2025 keeps it well inside the top 100 of all assessed universities in India, while the 15th place among central universities indicates it is competitive with peer central institutions rather than an outlier. The QS Asia 2026 band of 741-750 confirms it has international visibility, even if its global standing is more modest than its national one.
