It’s good news for Indian Institute of Technology, as IIT-Bombay and IIT-Delhi are in the top 200 QS World University Rankings 2019. Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, too, features on the list, Hindustan Times reported.
The report also added that the number of Indian universities in the top 1,000 increased from 20 to 24. The Indian Institute of Science too has overtaken IIT-Delhi and is now ranked 170.
Globally, Massachusetts Institute of Technology remains the top university for the seventh consecutive year. QS ranks the world’s top 1,000 universities, across 85 countries. With this year’s rankings, the five first IITs and the IISc are now in the top 500.
“Indian improvements can be primarily attributed to improvements in QS’s reputational indicators, which account for the insights of 83,000 academics and 42,000 employers. Seventeen of India’s 24 ranked universities improve their rank for Academic Reputation, while 13 improve their rank for Employer Reputation,” said Ben Sowter, QS Research Director, while speaking to the daily.
Recently, IIT-B figured amongst the top 30 institutes in emerging economies at the Times Higher Education (THE) Rankings 2018. IIT-B bagged the 26th overall position, but ranked second amongst Indian institutions.
Indian Institute of Science (IISC) Bangalore secured the top spot in the country and the 13th position amongst emerging economies. Savtribai Phule Pune University sat at position 180. The University of Mumbai failed to feature in the list yet again.
India was the second most represented nation after China, with 42 institutes making it to the list of top 350 institutes from four continents. In 2017, only 27 institutes were on the list.
The performance indicators used for the rankings were grouped into five areas: Teaching (the learning environment); Research (volume, income and reputation); citations (research influence); International outlook (staff, students and research); and industry income (knowledge transfer). IIT B scored the best in Industry income (53.4) followed by Teaching (43.1).
