India's ranking on Global Education
Data released by the Times Higher Education (THE) on Tuesday showed 25 Indian institutions figure in the 2019 ranking of top 200 in 43 emerging economic countries. The numbers are seven more than what had figured in last year’s table, the data showed.
According to the rankings of the Times Higher Education Emerging Economies University, the Indian Institute of Science retains the highest spot for India (14th), followed by the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (27th).
The 2019 table presents a mixed picture for India, THE said, with several new entrants and high risers along with several institutions that drop back.
The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee scales 21 places at 35th, due to improvements in research (volume, income and reputation) and industry income (knowledge transfer).
The Indian Institute of Technology Indore (61st) and the JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research (joint 64th) are the highest new entrants for India this year.
Climbing the 87th position, the Savitribai Phule Pune University stood alongside the National Autonomous University of Mexico, with a rise in its research score. There was also a significant rise to its citations (research influence) score, organisers of the ranking said.
Mainland China with 72 institutions remains the most represented country in the annual listing, claiming four of the table’s top five positions.
