India matches Brazil's record in university rankings

October 01, 2015 02:23

Seventeen Indian higher education institutions have featured in a list of the world's best universities topped by California Institute of Technology.

While no Indian institution was among the world's top 200 universities, the 12th edition of the annual rankings released by 'Times Higher Education' here today has the Indian Institute of Science in the un-ranked 251-300 category and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in the 351-400 category.

With 17 institution on the list, India is now at par with its BRIC counterpart Brazil.

"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," said Phil Baty, the editor of the 'Times Higher Education' World University Rankings.
