NEW DELHI:
The rankings—spanning 55 subjects in five broad categories such as arts and humanities, engineering and technology, life sciences and medicine, natural sciences, and social sciences and management—also placed 79 Indian institutions among the world's top 550 universities, up from 69 last year.
"A total of 79 Indian universities—10 more than last year—feature 533 times across this year's rankings, marking a 25.7% increase compared to the previous edition. This includes 454 entries in individual subjects and 79 appearances across the five broad faculty areas," QS said in a statement.
The highest ranking was achieved by the IIT (ISM), Dhanbad—20 in engineering-mineral and mining—with an overall score of 74.7 out of 100, a major improvement from last year's 41st position.
"This impressive improvement from last year demonstrates our unwavering commitment to academic rigor and research excellence. We remain focused on advancing our legacy of success and achieving even greater heights in the future," Sukumar Mishra, director of IIT (ISM), said in a statement.
ISM Dhanbad officially converted to IIT (ISM) Dhanbad in 2016. In the engineering-mineral and mining subject, IIT Bombay and IIT Kharagpur were ranked 28 and 45 respectively, down from 25 and 28 respectively last year. A total of eight Indian universities were in the top 100.
