Increasing 31 places in a year, Indian Science Institute (IISC) in Bengaluru has emerged as the highest ranked Indian Institute in the 2023 edition of the QS World University rating, pushing IIT-Bombay to second place, followed by IIT-Deli.
Apart from IISC in 155, IIT-Bombay (IIT-B) and IIT-Deli (IIT-D), which has risen five and 11 places for ranking 172 and 174 each, are the only other Indian institutions in the Global League Top Top 200, in the continuation of the trend since 2017. The total number of Indian institutions among the top 1,000 globally has increased to 27 out of 22.
Speaking to Indian Express, QS Spokesperson William Barbieri associated the extraordinary revival of IISC, which is one of eight Eminence Public Institutions (IOE), with improvements in four of the six parameters based on the ranking prepared.
These parameters are academic-remoduces (AR), employer (ER) reputation, faculty ratios (FSR), quotations per faculty (CPF), International Faculty Ratios and International Student Ratios.
Barbieri said: “IISC has an extraordinary year in all QS indicators. Remarkably, the strongest performance metric, quote per faculty, where he is a world leader, does not change year-to-year and remain at the top of the table. This is an improvement in all other QS criteria that owe impressive performance. IISC achieved profits in metric 4/6, especially, drastically expanded the number of international faculties. However, a significant increase in academic reputation and employers in addition to teaching capacity has all been combined to encourage IISC to the peak of Indian education hierarchy. “
According to CPF indicators from Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), which is a higher education analysis company based in London, when the university is adjusted to the size of the faculty, IISC Bengaluru is the world’s top research university, reaching a perfect score of 100/100 for this metric. “In addition, IISC Bengaluru is the fastest rising South Asia University between the QS World University-200 ranking,” said the QS statement.
Overall, Indian educational institutions, 41 of them succeeded in achieving ranking, have performed poorly in many main metrics. For example, 30 out of 41 universities have decreased in the FSR indicator, with only four recording improvements.
“However, with an encouraging note, now two Indian universities are between the top 250 for the ratio of faculties/students, compared to not in the previous edition. The highest performance in this metric is Savitribai Phule Pune University (225 for FSR) and O.P. Jindal Global University (235 years old for FSR), followed by IISC Bengaluru (276 for FSR), “QS noted.
Globally, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is declared the best university for the 11th successive year. The second place went to the University of Cambridge, followed by Stanford University. China has 28 universities between the top 500, including six in the top 100 with Peking University, ranked 12th and Tsinghua University is in the 14th position.
In particular, all IIT, except one, the features in ranking have increased their position. In fact, IIT-indore made the highest ranking debut on the list, securing the 396th slot globally, while IIT-BHU made its first appearance in the band 651-700.
The report shows that India’s presence in the top 500 category was also driven by IIT. Apart from IISC, eight IIT (Delhi, Bombay, Madras, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Roorkee, Guwahati, Indore) ranked at the top 500 globally. There are no other Indian universities, public or private, who found a place in this category, five years after the launch of the Institute of Eminence scheme.
One of the objectives of the IOE scheme is to help ten public higher education institutions and as much as possible ranked at the top of 500 well -known rankings such as QS in one decade, and in the top 100 “from time to time”. This scheme continues to misery without the empowered expert committee intended to drive it.
Among the eight public IOE, five (IISC, IIT-B, IIT-D, IIT-Madras and IIT-Kharagpur) increase their ranking, while the University of Delhi and the University of Hyderabad slipped from the band 501-510 to 521-530 and and and and and and Universities and 651-700 to 751-800 respectively.
Banaras Hindu University, the only other public IOE, has been ranked outside 1,000, in the band 1,001-1,200.
Also, one of the three private IOE, OP Jindal Global University, ranked in the band 651-700, is the highest ranking private university in this country, according to QS. Two other private IOE-Manipal Academy of Higher Education and Bits-Pilani-placed in 751-800 and 1,001-1,200 bands, each, equal to last year.
This report is prepared based on responses from 1,51,000 academics and 99,000 entrepreneurs worldwide.
Ben Sowter, Vice President of Senior QS, said: “The QS World University ranking edition reflects the extraordinary work carried out by several Indian universities to improve their research traces, with positive consequences for their reputation on the global stage. Conversely, our dataset also shows that the Indian higher education sector is still struggling to provide adequate teaching capacity. “
