- 2025 ranking
NHCE is ranked 157 among 500 Engineering colleges in the 2026 Collegedunia ranking, with 10th position in Bengaluru. Its MBA position is 283 among 350 colleges in India and 52nd in Karnataka. Engineering and MBA have different comparison groups, so the two national ranks are shown separately.
The latest confirmed NIRF entry here is the 151–200 Engineering band for 2025. NHCE held the same band in 2024. This is a rank range, not a precise national position of 151. The college’s NIRF 2026 submission contains data for assessment; submission of data does not itself establish a 2026 ranking result.
NHCE also has autonomous status, permanent VTU affiliation and NAAC Grade A. These are institutional details rather than substitutes for a subject ranking. NBA recognition is programme-specific and must be read with the accredited course and validity period.
NHCE ranking by agency, subject and year
| Subject | Agency | Year | India position | Bengaluru position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B.Tech | Collegedunia | 2026 | #157 / 500 | #10 |
| MBA | Collegedunia | 2026 | #283 / 350 | Not listed |
| Engineering | NIRF | 2025 | 151–200 band | — |
| B.Tech | Collegedunia | 2025 | #298 / 500 | #19 |
| B.Tech | TOI | 2024 | #28 / 175 | — |
NHCE’s Collegedunia Engineering position moved from 298 of 500 in 2025 to 157 of 500 in 2026. Its Bengaluru position in that category moved from 19th to 10th. The current MBA entry is 283 of 350 for 2026. These are the categories and years used in the table.
The NIRF Engineering band and the Times of India Engineering result retain their own year and scale. A position from one agency is not inserted into another agency’s ranking, and an engineering result does not become an overall-college or MBA rank.
NHCE autonomy, affiliation and accreditation
Autonomous college with permanent VTU affiliation
NHCE’s official institutional page describes it as an autonomous college permanently affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University. It is not a separate university.
NAAC Grade A and programme accreditation
The official homepage lists NAAC Grade A, AICTE and UGC approval, and NBA accreditation. The validity and scope of an NBA record belong to the named programme and accreditation period.
The NIRF ranking and the submitted data
The 2025 ranking places Engineering in the 151–200 band. The NIRF 2026 engineering submission publishes teaching, student and placement statistics. The submission year does not by itself create a 2026 ranking position.
NHCE is an autonomous college permanently affiliated to VTU. The college has AICTE approval and NAAC Grade A accreditation. Autonomy relates to the college’s academic organisation, while affiliation identifies the university relationship.
NBA accreditation covers specified programmes for stated periods. The presence of one accredited department does not make every new branch accredited. NIRF and Collegedunia subject positions compare colleges; they do not grant degree approval or replace institutional recognition.
