Government or private. 5 of these are government-run and 38 are private. Government colleges are usually cheaper and admit on entrance rank; private colleges are more likely to have their own admission route.
Check the ranking applies to your course. 2 of these hold an NIRF rank, but NIRF is scored per category — a rank in one category says nothing about another.
