Jamia achieved the highest score for 2019-20, followed by Rajiv Gandhi University in Arunachal Pradesh, and Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi.

However, the HRD Ministry notes that this is an internal assessment, not a ranking, as the targets are self-determined and not comparable across universities.

MHRD does the internal assessment of Central Universities regularly based on yearly MoU signed with MHRD, UGC and universities.

At the beginning of each year, universities set their targets on various parameters, including student intake and diversity, faculty strength, research, patents and financial management.
