The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) rankings, which are released by the Indian Government's Ministry of Education, place Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani, which comprises all of its campuses, among the best engineering colleges in India.

In the latest NIRF ranking released in 2021, BITS Pilani was ranked 26th among engineering institutions in India. However, the NIRF ranking does not provide separate rankings for individual campuses of BITS Pilani, including the South Goa campus.

BITS Pilani as a whole has consistently been ranked among the top engineering institutions in India by NIRF, and is widely regarded as one of the premier institutions for higher education in India.
