THE World University Rankings 2024: A Record 91 Indian Universities Ranks in Top 1000

New Delhi: The Times Higher Education has released the World University Rankings 2024. A total of 1,904 universities have been assessed globally across 108 countries.

Out of the colleges assessed, 91 Indian Universities have been ranked within the top 1,000 universities. Last year, a total of 75 Indian colleges made it to the list of top 1,000 universities. IISC Bangalore has secured the highest position among Indian universities at the ‘201-250 band.

The second-best performing Indian universities in this list include Anna University, Jamia Millia Islamia, Mahatma Gandhi University, and Shoolini University of Biotechnology and Management Sciences. All these universities fall within the 501-600 band. India has also risen to become the fourth most well-represented nation in the 2024 rankings, moving up from sixth place last year.

University of Oxford, Stanford University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology are the top three universities in the global rankings.

This year there were 18 calibrated performance indicators (up from 13 last year), which were grouped into five pillars: teaching, research quality, research environment, international outlook and industry.

“Indian universities perform very well in students-related metrics in the teaching pillar (the learning environment) — their student-to-staff ratio and the doctorate-related metrics are well above the global median. For the research quality category, Indian universities are performing quite well, quite similarly to the world, particularly in citation impact,” said Phil Baty, chief global affairs officer, THE.
