News<\/strong>:\u00a0In the recently announced QS World Universities Rankings 2023, Indian higher educational institutions have done their best to date.<\/p>\n

Seven universities have made a grand entry this year, while 17 universities ascended and 17 others stood unwavering on their previous year\u2019s position as the world\u2019s top higher educational institutions.<\/p>\n

The 20% increase in new entrants has pushed India up the ladder.<\/p>\n

What are the QS World rankings?<\/h5>\n

It is the world\u2019s largest and most remarkable annual survey of academic opinion, the QS rankings evaluate a university\u2019s performance by measuring the sentiments of academic stakeholders over six performance indicators \u2014<\/p>\n

a)<\/strong> academic reputation, b)<\/strong> employer reputation, c)<\/strong> faculty\/student ratio, d)<\/strong> citations per faculty (CpF), e)<\/strong> international faculty ratio, and f)<\/strong> international student ratio.<\/p>\n

The globalisation of education has transformed the way institutional excellence is measured. Hence, the elite status of world-class universities now also relies on international recognition<\/strong> from university rankings.<\/p>\n

How have the Indian educational institutions fared in the latest rankings?<\/h5>\n

The 19th edition of the rankings draws a stronger picture of India.<\/p>\n

–<\/strong> Nine institutions<\/strong> of eminence are ranked in the top 1,000, five<\/strong> in the top 500, and three<\/strong> in the top 200.<\/p>\n

–<\/strong> In the prestigious band of the top 200 are the Indian Institute of Science (155), IIT-Bombay at 172nd, and IIT-Delhi at 174th globally, moving up 31, five, and 11 places respectively from the previous year\u2019s score. IIT-Indore debuts at an impressive 396th rank globally among the new entrants.<\/p>\n

The University of Madras<\/strong> lands in the 541-550 band, while Chandigarh University<\/strong> (800-1000) is the youngest university to secure a spot on the list.<\/p>\n

It is historic that after a gap of 10 years, all Indian institutions in the top 500 have improved their ranking.<\/p>\n

What are the parameters on which Indian univ have improved?<\/h5>\n

Indian universities have established a significant global standing in the QS World Rankings 2023, with the highlight being<\/p>\n

–<\/strong> the improved faculty\/student ratio<\/p>\n

–<\/strong> citation per faculty<\/p>\n

–<\/strong> international student admissions<\/p>\n

–<\/strong> male\/female student enrollment ratio.<\/p>\n

All this has happened due to the conscious efforts of the government towards improving the standards of higher education.<\/p>\n

Way forward<\/h5>\n

Despite the improvement, there are also a number of areas that call for immediate attention of the government.<\/p>\n

–<\/strong> State expenditure on education as a percentage of GDP<\/p>\n

–<\/strong> India\u2019s spending on research has been low for decades<\/p>\n

–<\/strong> Issues of mobility of international faculty and students.<\/p>\n

–<\/strong> Lastly, India doesn\u2019t have education penetration to the last mile. This is something which the government aims to rectify through its target of achieving a 50 per cent Gross Enrolment Ratio by the year 2035 against 26.3 per cent in 2018, as envisaged in the NEP.<\/p>\n

The government should address these issues to make India\u2019s education system strong, inclusive, and equitable.<\/p>\n
