London, October 16

The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) dominate the first-ever standalone ranking of India’s higher education institutions released by a UK-headquartered think tank on Monday.

IIT Bombay tops the ‘QS India University Rankings’, with IITs Madras (3), Delhi (4), Kharagpur (5), Kanpur (6), Roorkee (9) and Guwahati (10) grabbing seven of the top 10 slots.

Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru comes in at second, with University of Hyderabad and University of Delhi among the others making a top-10 mark at seventh and eighth, respectively, in the list released by QS Quacquarelli Symonds.

“This inaugural table, which is based on the same indicators of its parent BRICS rankings, evaluates the Indian institutions through independent and international lenses,” said Ben Sowter, Research Director at QS.

“The results reveal that research productivity at leading Indian institutions is increasing and the impact of such research is gradually rising. They also enjoy a good standing with employers while they achieve less recognition with their international academic peers, perhaps suggesting the need to intensify regional and global collaborations,” he said. QS Quacquarelli Symonds describes itself as a global higher education think tank responsible for the world’s most-consulted world university rankings.

Its first Indian edition of the rankings is designed to offer an independent analysis of the performance of institutions. The rankings include Public Universities, Private Universities and HE Institutions or Deemed Universities. Single faculty specialist institutions are not included. — PTI
