What ever we say that will be only a lame excuse. We need t measure up. take a look at the research projects such as Ph.D and M.Phil thesis. These thesis can not stand in line with thesis of top universities such as Ohio State university,central Michigan University etc., i think we we need to seriously look into our system to improve upon.

I do agree with Prof. Mathur. As Sir Einstein once said " you will always disappoint if you judge a fish with its ability to fly". There are several reason to be happy about in our changing educational system, however, at the same time we should not become complacent and do nothing.We have a long way to go on improving our existing system which is certainly not one night show and there is no magic wand which can make it happen overnight but the consistent and determined efforts can bring about positive change.In addition to what system is doing we as academicians must ask ourselves everyday what I did to place our institute or university among top. Individual efforts however seem small but collectively create a huge difference be it interms of teaching, research, consulting etc.On Fri, Mar 7, 2014 at 11:47 AM, Alok Mathur <akmathur@iihmr.org> wrote:
We should not get upset.
All this is a ranking 'game'.
We all know, that it is based on certain criterion.
Now if we study these criterion and start striving for each criterion in one year's time you will find that many Indian Universities will also be in the list of these top Universities. Question here is do we want to do this?
Actually we should question the criterion.
The ultimate product of the Universities is the quality of the students it produce. The students who are humane, considerate, thoughtful, innovative, creative, industrious, compassionate, gentle , nice, kind, benevolent…. towards the other human beings and those who care about environment and see themselves as a part of world. If the pass out product of these Universities are nasty, merciless, heartless, selfish, harsh, have no respect about others, vindictive, autocrat, malicious, merciless ….and do not care for environment, have no feeling for the development of others…...
How can good University criterion and weightage can be following (13 performance indicators which were grouped into five areas):
· Teaching: the learning environment (worth 30 per cent of the overall ranking score)
· Research: volume, income and reputation (worth 30 per cent)
· Citations: research influence (worth 30 per cent)
· Industry income: innovation (worth 2.5 per cent)
· International outlook: staff, students and research (worth 7.5 per cent).
On the other hand if we change the criterion you will find that these top ranked Universities will come down in the list – The criterion can be as follows:
The sensitivity level of the students who pass out from these Universities.
The happiness index of the students,
Cost of the education provided in these universities
Affordability of any course in these Universities
Stress, anxiety and depression faced by them during University education
How sympathetic are they towards the needs of others,
How many would take care of their sick and old parents once they start earning
Degree of their selflessness. etc.

Subject: [MTC Global] India only BRIC nation with no university among top 200: THE Ranking 2014
Phil Baty, editor of the Times Higher Education (THE) magazine's 2014 'World Reputation Rankings' has said that India is the only one of the so-called BRIC [Brazil, Russia, India and China] nations which does not have a university in the world top 100.
"Mainland China has two, both in the top 50, Russia and Brazil have one each - this should be a cause for concern for India," he added. In the recently released list of top universities of the world, by THE, none of the Indian have been able to break into the list of top 200 universities.
Harvard University in the US has yet again topped the list, it is followed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University is placed third, the University of Cambridge at fourth, the University of Oxford comes fifth and the University of California, Berkeley sixth. The list, based on a largest invitation-only survey of senior academics, saw conspicuous absence of Indian varsities.
"While we only officially rank the world's top 100 institutions, I can reveal that India is some way off the pace roughly around the 200th position," Baty added. Punjab University, alma mater of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, found a place in the unranked section of 226-300. It is followed by the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) in Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur and Roorkee, ranked between 351-400.
