The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) continues to be the best ranking Indian universities, so much so that it is regarded as one of the fastest growing higher educational institutes in Asia, according to the 19th QS University Ranking. This year, as many as three India institutes have managed to gain spot in top 200, however, most of the popular colleges across country including DU, JNU, Jamia, University of Hyderabad and others have shown a decline in performance.
According to the rankings, 13 Indian universities have improved their research impact relative to global competitors, seeing a rise in the Citations per Faculty (CpF)score. However, Indian universities continue to struggle with QS’ measure of institutional teaching capacity. As many as 10 of the 41 universities featured in the ranking have shown a decline in their positions. This year’s QS World University Rankings is the largest ever, with 1,418 institutions across one hundred locations, up from 1,300 last year.

“This edition of the QS World University Rankings reflects the excellent work that several Indian universities are doing to improve their research footprint, with positive consequences for their reputation on the global stage. Conversely, our dataset also suggests that the Indian higher education sector still struggles to provide adequate teaching capacity. Further expansion of provision both within universities and across the sector as a whole will be necessary if India is to continue reaching new heights,” said Ben Sowter, QS Senior Vice President.
