How to read "best" for B.Sc Physics
No official body ranks colleges for B.Sc Physics alone. The Government of India's National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) ranks whole colleges, using teaching, research, graduation outcomes, outreach and perception. It publishes ranks 1 to 100 and then bands of 101-150, 151-200 and 201-300. A college's NIRF rank says nothing specific about its physics department, so use it alongside fee, distance, seat type and hostel.
