There are now 19 different organizations running global university rankings. In almost every one of them, since they first appeared (ARWU, the Academic Ranking of World Universities, also known as the 'Shanghai Ranking'), the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) is ranked as the best from India and Tsinghua University (TU) is the best from China. This year, IISc has moved down 38 places in the latest Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) ranking (from 152 in 2017 to 190 in 2018) and yielded the first two positions in India to IIT Delhi (moving up 13 places from 185 to 172) and IIT Bombay (moving up 40 places from 215 to 175). Tsinghua has actually dropped one place globally (from 24 to 25) but retains its premier position in China.

Abstract


There are now 19 different organizations running global university rankings. In almost every one of them, since they first appeared (ARWU, the Academic Ranking of World Universities, also known as the 'Shanghai Ranking'), the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) is ranked as the best from India and Tsinghua University (TU) is the best from China. This year, IISc has moved down 38 places in the latest Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) ranking (from 152 in 2017 to 190 in 2018) and yielded the first two positions in India to IIT Delhi (moving up 13 places from 185 to 172) and IIT Bombay (moving up 40 places from 215 to 175). Tsinghua has actually dropped one place globally (from 24 to 25) but retains its premier position in China.
