The correct chronological order of the Mughal rulers is:
- II. Reign of Akbar (1556–1605)
- IV. Reign of Jahangir (1605–1627)
- III. Reign of Shah Jahan (1628–1658)
- I. Reign of Aurangzeb (1658–1707)
This sequence reflects the correct timeline of the Mughal empire's rulers in India. Akbar was the first among these, followed by Jahangir, Shah Jahan, and finally Aurangzeb.
