In the last year’s rankings, NITW stood at the 46th place, but it failed to improve its performance causing a fall in the rankings. On the other hand, the Institute shared the 23rd position with Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (TIET), Patiala, among all the engineering institutes across the country. In the last year (2019-20) rankings, it managed to secure the 19th rank. However, it has remained in the same position with 4th place among the NITs this year too.

Meanwhile, Prof NV Ramana Rao, Director NIT, Warangal, said that the NITW had secured better rank in the NIRF-2021 rankings.
