IMS BHU Ranking in India

IMS BHU holds strong positions across all major Indian ranking bodies in both its medical and dental programmes. The tables below summarise the institute’s rank in India across multiple agencies over the last three years, covering both streams separately.

IMS BHU Medical Rankings

IMS BHU Dental Rankings

Key Takeaways:

• Across NIRF, India Today, and The Week, IMS BHU holds the 6th rank or higher in medical rankings in 2025, showing alignment across methodologically distinct bodies.
• Outlook’s Government Medical Institutes category uses a narrower pool restricted to publicly funded colleges; IMS BHU’s 2nd rank there differs from its 6th rank in cross-sector all-India lists because the comparison set excludes private institutions.

IMS BHU Collegedunia Ranking

Collegedunia ranks IMS BHU in both Medical (MBBS) and Dental (BDS) streams for 2025. The composite scoring model weighs faculty credentials, infrastructure quality, student selectivity, and placement outcomes to produce a score out of 2000 for each college.

IMS BHU’s Medical score of 989.05 places it in the upper tier of government medical institutions within a pool that includes a large number of private colleges. A sub-score breakdown for individual institutions is not published under the current Collegedunia methodology.

IMS BHU NIRF Ranking

IMS BHU appears in two NIRF categories: Medical and Dental. The Medical category covers MBBS-granting institutions; the Dental category covers BDS-granting institutions. Both categories are published annually by the Ministry of Education under the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF).

IMS BHU NIRF Medical Ranking 2025

NIRF Medical 2025 marks a one-position improvement for IMS BHU over 2024, placing the institute among the six highest-ranked medical institutions nationally by NIRF’s criteria. The available two-year dataset shows a consistent top-7 position for IMS BHU in this category.

NIRF’s methodology for Medical colleges evaluates five parameters: Teaching, Learning and Resources (TLR: student-faculty ratio, qualifications, and financial resources), Research and Professional Practice (RPC: publications, patents, and sponsored projects), Graduation Outcomes (GO: PhD production, median salary, and pass rate), Outreach and Inclusivity (OI: socio-economic diversity in admissions), and Perception (PR: peer and employer surveys). IMS BHU’s parameter-level scores for 2025 have not been publicly disaggregated at the time of publication.

IMS BHU NIRF Dental Ranking 2025

In the NIRF Dental category, IMS BHU has ranked in the 17-18 band across the two available cycles (2024 and 2025), showing stability rather than directional movement in this specific category. The one-position change between cycles is consistent with minor fluctuation rather than a structural shift.

The difference between IMS BHU’s NIRF Dental rank (18th) and its India Today Dental rank (3rd) reflects distinct methodological priorities: NIRF assigns significant weight to research output and postgraduate programme strength, while India Today uses a broader set of inputs including peer surveys, infrastructure ratings, and graduate outcome data. These differences in methodology lead to different rankings for the same institution across the two bodies.

IMS BHU India Today Rankings

IMS BHU has appeared in India Today’s medical and dental rankings consistently across all three years for which data is available (2023, 2024, 2025). India Today, in partnership with MDRA, publishes annual rankings for medical and dental streams separately.

IMS BHU India Today Medical Rankings

IMS BHU has held the 6th rank in India Today’s Medical list across all three published years (2023 to 2025), with scores rising gradually from 1661.8 in 2023 to 1697.8 in 2025. The consistent 6th rank alongside a rising score shows that IMS BHU’s absolute performance improved within India Today’s measurement framework while its relative standing remained unchanged.

IMS BHU India Today Dental Rankings

In Dentistry, IMS BHU has ranked 3rd nationally in India Today’s rankings for three consecutive years, with scores increasing from 1706.4 in 2023 to 1736.7 in 2025. The India Today Dental rank of 3rd is the highest national ranking IMS BHU holds across all published dental ranking lists.

IMS BHU The Week, Outlook, and IIRF Rankings

IMS BHU is ranked by three additional Indian agencies: The Week, Outlook, and IIRF. Each agency applies distinct scoring criteria and covers different pools or sub-categories, which accounts for some variation in the institute’s position across these bodies.

The Week Medical Rankings

The Week, published by The Week-Hansa Research, ranked IMS BHU 6th in Medical colleges in both 2024 and 2025. The score decreased from 687.0 in 2024 to 553.0 in 2025 while the rank held steady at 6th. The Week has not published a parameter-level breakdown for individual institution score changes.

Outlook Government Medical Institutes Rankings

Outlook’s Government Medical Institutes category covers only publicly funded medical colleges, placing IMS BHU 2nd in 2025. Only 2025 data is available from Outlook for IMS BHU at the time of publication.

IIRF Medical Rankings

IIRF ranked IMS BHU 7th in 2024 and 9th in 2025. The ranked pool size varied between years (113 colleges in 2024 versus 70 in 2025); rank comparisons across years in IIRF’s list should account for this pool-size change, as a smaller pool affects both the ceiling and the denominator of each position.

IMS BHU World Ranking

IMS BHU, as a constituent medical school of Banaras Hindu University, does not appear independently in international university rankings such as Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings or Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings. International ranking bodies assess universities as whole institutions and do not rank individual constituent schools or medical colleges separately.

Banaras Hindu University as a whole institution is ranked in the 1001-1200 band in QS World University Rankings 2026 and at approximately 775th in the US News Best Global Universities list. These figures reflect BHU’s cross-disciplinary standing across all its faculties and departments, not IMS BHU’s standing as a standalone medical school.
