IIM Trichy NIRF Ranking 2026
The IIM Trichy NIRF ranking 2026 data is still the NIRF 2025 result, which is 16th in Management. NIRF 2026 results were not on nirfindia.org on 6 October 2026. The institute also hosts its own NIRF 2026 data sheet. Until the new list is out, quote the IIM Trichy ranking with its year and category.
Why Did the IIM Trichy Ranking Rise from 27th to 16th?
Teaching, Learning and Resources gave most of the gain. Its score rose by almost 18 marks, from 60.97 to 78.93. Research and Professional Practice rose by about 6 marks, and Outreach and Inclusivity by about 5. Perception fell by about 5 marks. The IIM Trichy ranking therefore rose on measured data, not on reputation.
| NIRF parameter | 2024 score | 2025 score |
|---|---|---|
| Teaching, Learning and Resources | 60.97 | 78.93 |
| Research and Professional Practice | 29.09 | 35.02 |
| Graduation Outcomes | 87.47 | 87.90 |
| Outreach and Inclusivity | 69.74 | 75.08 |
| Perception | 61.89 | 56.74 |
What Do the NIRF Parameters Measure?
Teaching, Learning and Resources covers faculty and facilities. Research and Professional Practice covers publications and practice. Graduation Outcomes covers placement and results. Outreach and Inclusivity covers diversity, and Perception covers peer and employer views. Research is the weakest of the five scores in the IIM Trichy ranking 2026 data. The placement report has the outcomes behind the Graduation Outcomes score.
IIM Trichy QS Ranking 2026
The IIM Trichy website lists no QS ranking, so this page does not quote one. The institute does not show a QS world rank or a QS MBA rank for the PGPM.
Check Any QS Number You See
If you see a QS number for IIM Trichy elsewhere, check it against QS's own list. The institute website does not show one.
Does IIM Trichy Have a QS Ranking?
Not on its official pages. The recognitions it shows are NIRF 2025, three media-survey ranks, AMBA accreditation and the PMA India Institutional Excellence Award 2025. The institute announced the award on 21 February 2026. For the IIM Trichy ranking in India, NIRF is the one government list to use.
IIM Trichy Financial Times Ranking 2026
The IIM Trichy website lists no Financial Times ranking either. The Financial Times ranks MBA and masters programmes by its own method. The institute shows no place in any of its lists.
An Accreditation Is Not a Rank
The institute shows an AMBA accreditation. It is a quality mark that says a programme meets AMBA standards. It does not place the school against others.
Does IIM Trichy Have a Financial Times Ranking?
Not on its official pages. The institute brochure carries the AMBA claim and the NIRF 2025 rank. It shows no Financial Times position.
