Indian Universities Need to Blow IIT Trumpet to Improve Global Ranking: QS Officials
Indian universities and higher education institutions need to work on globally pertinent indicators and start blowing their very own trumpet so as to improve their international rankings, as indicated by officials at QS World Ranking.
The QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) and Times Higher Education (THE), the two of which are situated in London, are two of the most prominent higher-education surveys in the world.
In any case, even the most observed Indian institutes – including the IITs and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) – have reliably failed to break the best 100 in these rundowns, with western institutions, for example, Oxford University and MIT proceeding to hold the top positions.
“There are some excellent universities in India in terms of academic output and research credibility but how many global students know about it? The very purpose of having world university ranking is to allow foreign students to be able to just pick up the ranking and see which institution is worth going to and what is offered where,” Ashwin Fernandes, from QS Rankings, told PTI in an interview.
He further said,
“Hence, Indian institutions must thrive to be excellent at globally relevant indicators.”
Fernandes, who is the Regional Director for QS Intelligence Unit in Middle East, North Africa and South Asia stated, India has a gigantic measure of potential in turning into a pioneer of worldwide higher education; however, it is frustrating to see the nation drop out in the rankings table each year, with just a few institutions registering progress.
This year, three Indian institutes – IIT-Bombay, IIT-Delhi and IISc-Bangalore – had discovered spots among the main 200 in the prestigious world university rankings discharged by QS. While none of the Indian institutions made it to the main 200 rundowns in THE ranking.
The HRD Ministry had additionally assembled a survey conference with officials at QS including Fernandes to inspect the purposes for a few prestigious Indian varsities, including JNU and the Hyderabad University, not discovering top spots ranking.
Indian universities likewise need to figure out how to blow their very own trumpets. The way that IISc Bangalore has delivered two ISRO boss isn’t known to numerous and except if they take the word abroad the score on academic reputation, criteria with substantial weightage in QS ranking will be low.
What’s more, by publicity I don’t mean institutions should enlist advertisement openings on prime time TV or spot tremendous hoardings, there ought to be all the more networking globally. Associating with alumni, outreach programs, summer schools, winter schools, every one of these things should be done Fernandes said.
