Hyderabad: JNTU-Hyderabad was perplexed by NIRF-2017 rankings that were announced on Monday. It was given two rankings in the same engineering colleges’ category.
JNTU-Hyderabad, which is a technology university, was not considered in separate university rankings given to conventional state and central varsities.
JNTU-Hyderabad was given 63rd rank. JNTU Engineering College was included in 150 to 200 list without giving specific rank.
JNTU vice-chancellor Prof A. Venugopal Reddy stated that they were bit confused at the rankings.
“JNTU engineering college did not figure in the top-100 while JNTU University was given 63rd rank and both in the same engineering institutions category. Also JNTU-Kakinada and JNTU-Anantapur varsities as well as engineering colleges were not in the top-100 list at all,”he said.
