“Seven Indian institutions were ranked in the top 100 in the QS World University Asia rankings, 20 in the top 200 and 66 in the top 500,” London-based QS said in a statement.
It said that compared to last year’s rankings, 36 Indian institutes improved, 16 remained the same and 105 declined. “The expansion of the ranking is associated with the greater volatility seen in this year’s results.”
“A total of 41 Indian institutions appear in the top 80 percentile of universities. India ranks best in Asia in terms of PhD staff,” he added.
