Nagaland
Universities in Nagaland, the full official list.
All 5 universities the UGC recognises in Nagaland: 4 private universities, 1 central university. Every entry carries its UGC number and the year it was recognised, and we have added nothing of our own.
What this page is. The University Grants Commission's own list of universities in Nagaland, dated 25.01.2023, plus the NIRF 2025 ranks where an institution took part.
Every ranked institution here links to its own official data. The "official data" link opens the file that institution itself filed with NIRF, hosted on the government's server. It carries the sanctioned seats for each programme across six years, the actual student strength, and the number of faculty. We do not copy any of it, so when NIRF publishes the next cycle the link shows the new figures without us touching anything.
What it is not. Being on this list means recognised. It says nothing about teaching, placement, or whether the fee is fair. And a college affiliated to one of these universities will not appear under its own name, which is normal.

Ranked institutions in Nagaland, by course
From the NIRF 2025 tables published by the Ministry of Education. Showing the top few in each; the full table is one click away.
No institution from Nagaland appears in the NIRF 2025 tables. That is not a verdict on the state. NIRF ranks only institutions that submitted data, and plenty of good colleges never do.
Scholarships in Nagaland
A student in Nagaland can normally apply on two tracks at once: the central schemes on the National Scholarship Portal, and the state's own. Both are free, and no agent should ever be paid to fill either.
Nagaland
Common Scholarship Portal
The state's own scholarship route. Deadlines are set by the state and are usually earlier than families expect.

One application for most central schemes. A hard deadline, no late window, and no appeal.
Ask your college for its NSP institute code before you pay the admission fee. Without an active code it cannot verify your application.

Questions people actually ask
What a family in Nagaland wants to know.
How many universities are there in Nagaland?
The University Grants Commission's consolidated list of universities, as published on 25.01.2023, carries 5 universities in Nagaland: 4 private universities, 1 central university. This page lists every one of them with its UGC entry number and the year it was recognised. CollegeJaancho adds nothing of its own to that list.
Which institutions in Nagaland are ranked by NIRF 2025?
No institution from Nagaland appears in the NIRF 2025 tables. That is not a verdict on the state. NIRF ranks only institutions that submit data for a field, and plenty of sound colleges never do.
How do I check whether a college in Nagaland is genuine?
Two UGC documents settle it, and both are linked from this page. The first is the consolidated list of universities, where a recognised institution carries an entry number. The second is the UGC's state-wise list of fake universities, which names institutions that have no authority to award a degree at all. A college that awards a degree must be on the first list and absent from the second. For an affiliated college rather than a university, check that its parent university is on the first list, because the degree comes from the parent.
Which scholarship portal do students in Nagaland use?
Common Scholarship Portal applies for state schemes, and central schemes run through the National Scholarship Portal at scholarships.gov.in. Both are linked on this page. CollegeJaancho does not print scheme amounts or income limits anywhere on this site, because they are revised every session and a stale figure misleads a family. The scheme's own page always carries the current condition.
What does CollegeJaancho charge for a check?
Nothing. The check is free for a student and a family. Send a college name on WhatsApp and the check comes back based on public record.
