Twenty-five Indian institutions figure in the 2019
ranking of top 200 in 43 emerging economic countries – seven more than the
number that figured in last year’s table, according to data released by Times
Higher Education (THE) on Tuesday.
The Times Higher Education Emerging Economies University
Rankings shows
that the Indian Institute of Science retains the highest spot for India (14th),
followed by the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (27th). However, each
slips a place this year, mainly due to increased competition.
THE said the 2019 table presents a mixed picture for
India, with several new entrants and high risers, alongside several
institutions that drop back.
The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee scales 21
places at 35th, due to improvements in research (volume, income and reputation)
and industry income (knowledge transfer).
The Indian Institute of Technology Indore (61st) and the
JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research (joint 64th) are the highest new
entrants for India this year.
The Savitribai Phule Pune University climbs 87 positions
to joint 93rd, alongside the National Autonomous University of Mexico, with a
rise in its research score, and a significant rise to its citations (research
influence) score, organisers of the ranking said.
Mainland China with 72 institutions remains the most
represented country in the annual listing, claiming four of the table’s top
five positions.
Ellie Bothwell of THE said: “Indian institutions have
immense potential for success – not only on the emerging stage, but globally.
But, while progress is clearly being made, other economies that previously
lagged behind – such as Egypt and Malaysia – are starting to advance at a much
faster rate.
“In this year’s table, India’s institutions perform well
in teaching. However they are significantly behind the global average in terms
of international outlook. Strengthening this will further elevate the nation’s
global reputation for higher education, encourage important research
collaborations and help attract international students.”
