For the fifth consecutive year, no Haryana institution has appeared among the top 100 in the ‘overall’ category in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) India Rankings, 2024. It was in 2019, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, was placed 89th in the rankings.

In the universities category, Maharishi Markandeshwar (Deemed to be University), Ambala, has been ranked 71st while Manav Rachna International Institute of Research and Studies, Faridabad, has earned the 92nd spot.
