\nThe India Rankings 2017 is an initiative of the HRD Ministry under the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) developed by a 16-member core committee. The ranking framework identified nearly 21 parameters under five major heads.

\nSSN College of Engineering, established in 1996, is the youngest institution in the ranking list and has done well across all parameters. Some of the key highlights of the ranking are:
\nSSN the only affiliated, non-autonomous college in the top 100.
\nIt is ranked number five among all private engineering institutions in India
\nThe youngest institution to reach that rank (SSN College of Engineering was set up in the year 1996)
\nRanked number one private engineering institution in Teaching, Learning & Resources and 16th among all engineering institutions in the category

The rankings are a reflection of SSN\u2019s unflinching pursuit of all-round excellence, the incredible commitment and quality of the faculty and staff and the hard-work and passion of our students.\u201d
\nMr. R Srinivasan, Chairman of SSN College of Engineering added, \u201cThis ranking is a commendable achievement for SSN and we are committed to improving this as we move forward. The education fraternity must also collectively applaud the NIRF initiative by the Ministry of Human Resources Development to create a system that makes colleges more accountable to its stakeholders, especially students. Higher education will play an increasingly important role in enabling India\u2019s youth as the country strives to benefit from its demographic dividend. In today\u2019s globalized economy, the caliber of a country\u2019s workforce is nothing but a reflection of the quality of its educational institutions.\u201d
\nOver the years, SSN has put in place several initiatives to promote excellence in academics, increasing research output, promoting inclusiveness on campus and ensuring 360-degree development of students. One such initiative is the funding provided by the SSN management to innovative research proposals of students and faculty. Till date over Rs 1 crore funding has been provided for students\u2019 projects and Rs 4.5 crore funding has been provided for faculty projects by the SSN management. In addition, the faculty has secured external funding of over Rs 20 crore for research projects from renowned research organizations. This has led to an exponential rise in research publications and filing of patents by students and faculty alike.
