Shanghai Rankings 2018: Poor Performance of Indian Universities and IITs

Abstract

Academic ranking of world universities (ARWU) 2018 is released on 15 August by Shanghai Ranking Consultancy of China. ARWU has been presenting the world Top 500 universities annually since 2004. It is unfortunate that none of the Indian universities and IITs find a slot among the Top 500, except Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore ranked at 427. China has moved to 2nd position after USA on the basis of subject ranking leaving behind UK and other European countries. It is suggested to set up "Schools of Excellence" in Indian universities to improve its ranking position at global level.

Keywords: Global Ranking, Indian universities, IITs, Subject-wise ranking.
