Ben Sowter, senior vice president at QS said, "This edition of the 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."

Twelve of the 41 Indian institutes represented increased their score from the previous year, twelve remained the same, ten dropped, and seven were newcomers.

The rankings of all of the listed IITs have improved. IIT Bombay (172nd) improved five spots over the previous year, while IIT Delhi (174th) improved 11 spots. IIT Madras (250th), IIT Kanpur (264th), and IIT Kharagpur (270th) are in the top 300.
