Indian universities have fared modestly in the 2011-12 QS World University Rankings.
No Indian university figured among the top 200 universities in the world by academic reputation, which accounts for 40 per cent marks in the rankings. IIT Bombay, which has figured on 187th rank last year, has slipped to 225th position. This highlights the poor perception of Indian universities’ research performance and capabilities.
However, four Indian universities were ranked among the top 100 by employers. Employers’ ranking, which carries 10 per cent marks in QS rankings, is a measure of the perception of skills imparted by a university.
Besides academic reputation and reputation among employers, QS rankings include citations per faculty (20 per cent marks), student-faculty ratio (20 per cent), international students (5 per cent) and international faculty (5%).
Overall, the UK and the US institutions have taken the top 10 spots, with Cambridge taking the crown. Institutes from Japan, South Korea and Germany have seen significant rises in the rankings. Peking and Tsinghua universities of China have climbed up the ranking, showing benefits of huge funding programmes. Still, Hong Kong University is the highest ranked Asian university.
