The Indian Institutes of Technology continue to represent the nation most successfully as far as quality of imparting higher education is concerned, according to the QS BRICS 2014 University Rankings. The good news is that there are eight Indian institutions that have made it to the top 50. However, India is the only country that couldn't find a place in the top 10--which is the bad news.
There are five institutions, led by IIT Delhi, in the top 20. Among institutions devoted to general studies, Delhi University is the highest ranked at 39, having bettered its last year's rank of 53 and beating last year's top ranked Calcutta University which is now at 50.
The QS BRICS 2014 University Rankings compares the Top 200 institutions in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa and has identified China as the most likely among BRICS nations to achieve its goal of developing world-class universities.
The top-ranked university is Tsinghua University , followed by Peking University , both from China. In fact, China claims six of the Top 10 places, ahead of Brazil (two), Russia (one) and South Africa (one).
The overall rank of the top Indian player--IIT Delhi--is 13 this year, which is no improvement from last year's rank. The other Indian universities in the Top 20 are IIT Bombay (ranked 15), IIT Kanpur (ranked 16, up from 17 last year), IIT Madras (ranked 17, down from 16 in last year) and IIT Kharagpur (ranked 20, down by two ranks from last year). In all, 20 Indian institutions have found a place on the list.
Delhi University has overtaken the University of Calcutta to become India's highest-ranked general studies institution, thanks to improvements in staffing levels and research citations. The University of Mumbai is ranked 68 this year, down by six ranks from last year.
Meanwhile, IIT Kharagpur has a higher proportion of PhDs among its staff than any other university with three other Indian institutions also in the top five on this count. However, in overall staffing, only Manipal University is in the top 100.
The new government has promised a national commission on education to reform and revitalize the sector and to make India a knowledge hub. The first copy of the QS University Rankings: BRICS 2014 was presented to prime minister Narendra Modi.
