Forty-five educational institutions from India have found place in the annual international university rankings done by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). In the 20th anniversary edition of the rankings for 2024, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay emerged as the best Indian institution by securing 149th rank. Last year, IIT Bombay was in 172nd position. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (United States), University of Cambridge and University of Oxford (United Kingdom) secured first, second and third positions in the ranking.
“IIT Bombay’s impressive trajectory of consistent improvements in research quality and reputation facilitated its rise to prominence. Over the past five years, it has propelled its Employer Reputation ranking from 102nd to 69th and improved its Citations per Faculty rank from 226th to 133rd. However, the institution’s internationalisation metrics still require enhancement to fully realise its potential as a globally diverse institution,” the QS said in a release.
