Vellore Institute of Technology Rankings 2026

VIT rankings and accreditation

Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) holds a NAAC A++ grade with a CGPA of 3.66 on a four-point scale. Its NIRF 2025 positions cover university, research, engineering and overall scopes, while its QS results span global, subject and sustainability tables. Each result therefore answers a different comparison question.

VIT’s ranking and recognition page reports its accreditation and QS outcomes, while the institution’s official NIRF page covers the national ranking results.

How to interpret VIT’s results

Within NIRF 2025, VIT is ranked 14 in both University and Research, compared with Engineering 16 and Overall 21. Applicants considering a particular programme should use the Engineering result alongside VIT’s course list, rather than treating the broader Overall rank as a programme-level score.

The QS subject results provide narrower international comparisons. Computer Science and Information Systems is ranked 86 globally, while Engineering and Technology is 119 globally in 2026. The QS World University Rankings 2027 position of 691 is institution-wide. Sustainability is separate again: VIT is 352 globally and seventh among Indian higher-education institutions in that 2026 framework.

NAAC’s A++ grade and 3.66 CGPA represent an accreditation outcome, not an ordinal league-table position. For a broader decision, compare these results with the VIT institution profile, admission details and placement information.

Ranking decision checklist

1. Use NIRF Engineering 16 when evaluating engineering at the national category level.
2. Use QS subject ranks for international discipline comparisons, not as substitutes for the global rank.
3. Treat NAAC A++ as accreditation evidence rather than a numbered rank.

Caution: QS 2026 subject and sustainability results should not be directly compared with the QS 2027 global rank. Their scope, methodology, category and ranking year differ.
