Universities in Delhi registered a mixed performance in the QS World University Rankings Sustainability-2026. The national capital’s institutions demonstrated strong gains in some areas, while the need for a deeper focus in a few others was highlighted.

The Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, remained the top performer from India, securing the 205th global rank with a sustainability score of 83.1. Although it slipped from last year’s top 200 bracket.

Delhi University (DU) was Delhi’s biggest climber this year, marking a significant improvement in its overall performance. DU rose from the 299th to the 241st spot globally, a jump of 58 places, earning it a position among the top four institutions in India and the top 36 in Asia.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
