Once again none of the higher education institution from India has been able to feature among the top 200 in The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2015-16.
However, there are more Indian institutes from previous editions after the list was expanded to top 800 from 400. But none of them breached the top 200.
Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore is the highest ranked institution, it is placed in 251-300 rank group and the other institution among the top 400 is Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (351-400 cohort).
In all, India has 17 universities in the list, matching its BRIC counterpart Brazil. Among Asian countries China continues to dominate, while Japan and South Korea have fallen behind.
Phil Baty, the editor of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, said: "It is good news for India that 17 of its institutions feature in this year's list of the world's best universities but it will have to work harder to compete with other emerging economies such as China which has 37 institutions featured in this year's rankings and Russia which has fewer institutions overall but a higher proportion in the upper echelons of the table."
"With the population of young people in the country continuing to expand resulting in further pressure on resources, it is now more crucial than ever that India invests in research and strengthens its links with other nations. The government has spoken about improving its universities but is yet to implement an initiative in this area. It will need to act, and fast, if it wants to match up against its fellow BRIC nations and the rising stars in Asia," he said, reported ToI.
