The seven first-generation Indian Institutes of Technology including Delhi, Bombay, Kharagpur, and Madras continue to stay out of the list as they took a decision in 2020 not to participate in the global rankings, citing data discrepancy and lack of transparency.
The Asia University Rankings 2022 comprises 616 universities from 31 countries and territories.
China is home to the continent’s top two universities for the third consecutive year, with Tsinghua and Peking universities holding on to first and second place, respectively. Japan is the most-represented nation again this year, with 118 institutions, up from 116 last year.
