HIGHLIGHTSTop of Form

• Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Ahmedabad is among the top 25 institutions globally for business and management studies + IIMs in Bangalore and Calcutta are among the top 50
• Jawaharlal Nehru University is the highest-ranked university in India + ranked at 20th position globally for development studies
• The Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences in Chennai is at 24th position globally for dentistry studies
• In a broader Asian regional context, India secured the second spot in terms of the number of universities featured (69), trailing only China (101), and holds the fourth position in the total number of ranked entries (454) after China (1,041), Japan (510) and South Korea (499)
• India ranks fifth regionally for the number of top 200 entries.

NOTE:

• One of the biggest challenges faced by India is educational — providing high-quality tertiary education in the face of exploding demand: this much was recognised by 2020’s NEP (National Education Policy), which set the ambitious target of a 50% gross enrolment ratio by 2035
• It should, therefore, provide some reassurance that the number of Indian programmes featuring across our 55 subject rankings and five broad faculty areas has increased this year — from 355 to 454
