No. NIRF does not rank commerce programmes, so no official B.Com ranking for Bengaluru exists anywhere.
NIRF, run by the Ministry of Education, published seventeen categories in India Rankings 2025: Overall, Universities, Colleges, Research Institutions, Engineering, Management, Pharmacy, Medical, Dental, Law, Architecture and Planning, Agriculture and Allied Sectors, Innovation, Open University, Skill University, State Public University and Sustainable Development Goals. There is no commerce category and no B.Com category. Every top-ten B.Com list you have read was assembled by whoever published it.
What does exist is the Colleges category, which ranks whole institutions rather than programmes. Four Karnataka institutions appear in it for 2025, read off the NIRF Colleges table and filtered to Karnataka: Kristu Jayanti College, Bengaluru at 34; M S Ramaiah College of Arts, Science and Commerce at 67; St Aloysius, Mangaluru at 73; and St Joseph's College of Commerce, Bengaluru at 98. Two of those four are commerce colleges. That is the entire official record for the state.
We will not publish a B.Com ranking, because we would be inventing it.
This changes if NIRF opens a commerce category, or if another Karnataka college enters the Colleges table. Both would appear on nirfindia.org first.
