CMR University’s School of Engineering and Technology has earned a place among India’s top private engineering institutes for both academic excellence and placements. Here is what this ranking means and the mission that drives it.
At CMR University, we have always believed that every person can achieve their dream if given the opportunity of a well-rounded education. That belief shapes everything, the way we teach, the way we train and the way we prepare our students to step into the world as trained professionals, inspired individuals and genuine partners of progress.
We are proud to share that the School of Engineering and Technology (SOET) at CMR University has earned two significant national recognitions in the Times All India Engineering Institutes Ranking Survey 2026:
- Ranked #65 Among the Top 125 Private Engineering Institutes in India
- Ranked #42 Among the Top 70 Private Engineering Institutes for Placements in India

These recognitions reflect more than rankings alone. They acknowledge an educational ecosystem built around innovation-driven learning, industry relevance, research exposure and future-ready engineering education. At SOET, engineering is not confined to classrooms and examinations. Students are encouraged to think critically, solve real-world problems, work on interdisciplinary projects and engage with technologies shaping the future.
The placement ranking, in particular, means a great deal to us. Placements are more than outcomes; it’s the clearest measure of whether an institution is truly preparing its students for the world outside the campus gates. A top 42 placement ranking among private engineering institutes across India tells us that the work being done here – the four-year training model, company-specific coaching, internship-to-PPO pipelines, continuous aptitude preparation and recruiter relationships built over the years is producing meaningful outcomes.
Behind these rankings are the students who cleared aptitude rounds, aced interviews and walked into roles at companies such as EY, TCS, Capgemini, HCL Technologies, Bosch, SAP Labs India and Goldman Sachs. They are the ranking.
What makes this achievement especially meaningful is the ecosystem that supports it. From industry-integrated curricula and hands-on laboratories to innovation centres, coding culture, research opportunities and experiential learning, SOET focuses on preparing students for Day 1 of their professional journey and beyond. Faculty members with academic and industry expertise mentor students not only in technical competencies, but also in communication, collaboration, leadership and problem-solving.
The recognition also reaffirms our commitment to nurturing the right values, scientific temperament and social responsibility in every student who walks through our doors. At SOET, the purpose has always been larger than employability. The goal is to build engineers who are technically sound, professionally equipped, ethically grounded and capable of contributing meaningfully to society.
We remain committed to creating and delivering value-added educational experiences through teaching, training, research, consultancy and entrepreneurship, within and beyond the curriculum, supported by standard infrastructure and dedicated human resources that help students attain intellectual and professional excellence.
These rankings are an important milestone, but the mission continues.
