Jaipuria Lucknow Ranking 2026
Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow ranked 67th in the NIRF Management category for 2025. Its NIRF score is 50.86. That is an improvement from 72nd in 2024. The source is the government's own ranking portal (NIRF Management Ranking 2025, nirfindia.org). This is Lucknow's rank alone, in the Management category only. NIRF does not rank Jaipuria Lucknow in any other category.
The rank that matters most for comparison shopping is not Lucknow's own trend line. It is Lucknow's position relative to its sister campus. Noida ranked 41st in the same NIRF 2025 cycle, with a score of 56.46. That is 26 places and 5.6 score-points ahead of Lucknow. This is despite Lucknow being the group's founding, older campus (1995 versus Noida's 2004) (nirfindia.org). A family choosing purely by NIRF rank inside the Jaipuria group would currently choose Noida, not Lucknow. See the Jaipuria Lucknow overview page for the full fee, admission and placement picture, not rank alone.
