This page prints only the placements CollegeJaancho has matched to the UGC record by name and state, as read from NIRF's pages on 7 October 2026. A table that is not shown here is not a statement that Manipal Academy of Higher Education is absent from it, and not being placed in a table is never a mark against an institution.

On the same UGC list, Karnataka holds 93 universities, and at least 20 of them are placed in NIRF 2025, at a numbered rank or in a rank band. This is one of those.
NAAC accreditation
NAAC publishes its own list of institutions holding a valid accreditation. On that list, as on 14 August 2025, this institution is recorded as follows.
| Name on the NAAC list | MANIPAL ACADEMY OF HIGHER EDUCATION (DEEMED-TO-BE-UNIVERSITY U/S 3 OF THE UGC ACT) |
|---|---|
| AISHE code | U-0234 |
| Grade | A++ |
| CGPA | 3.65 |
| Cycle | 3 |
| Date of declaration | 31 May 2022 |
A NAAC grade is not permanent. It is awarded for a fixed term and has to be renewed, so the date of declaration above is the figure a family paying several years of fees actually needs, and it is the one a brochure rarely carries. We print the record as NAAC states it and draw no conclusion from it. If the institution holds a more recent record, it can write to us and we will update this page.

Four things this page cannot settle
A record is a starting point, not a verdict.
Recognition and rank say nothing about what your family pays or what your degree is worth. Each of these has its own page, written once and kept current.
The state portal for Karnataka, and the central schemes, are listed on our government scholarships page, and every other university in the state is on the Karnataka page.
