As per QS World University Rankings, 1559 institutions have been ranked across various subjects. The rankings are done based on certain criteria including academic reputation, employer reputation, research citations, and H-index (an index that measures the stability of impact and quality of work published by the institution’s scholars), among other factors.

Jessica Turner, QS CEO said: “One of the biggest challenges faced by India is educational – providing high-quality tertiary education in the face of exploding demand: this much was recognized by 2020’s NEP (National Education Policy), which set the ambitious target of a 50% gross enrolment ratio by 2035”.

“It should therefore provide some reassurance that the number of Indian programs featuring across our 55 subject rankings and five broad faculty areas has increased this year – from 355 to 454. QS also notes that several programs at India’s three privately-run Institutes of Eminence have made progress this year, demonstrating the positive role that well-regulated private provision can have in enhancing India’s higher education sector”, she further added.
