Top 10 IITs and how they rank on domestic and international rankings.
HOW RANKING WAS DONE
Before we get to the list, there is a word of caution. Every publication has different parameters on which they rank an institute. In order to provide a standard ranking, the NIRF or National Institutional Ranking Framework for domestic ranking and QS World University Rankings (By Subject) for International rankings have been taken as reference points. Candidates are advised to understand the parameters used to assess their choices.
WORD OF CAUTION
Interestingly, while in the domestic ranking, IIT Bombay ranks higher than Delhi, international ranking places IIT Delhi 7 places ahead of IIT Bombay at 71 against the formers 78th rank. Also, while IIT Madras is at the top place in domestic rankings, international ranking makes IIT Delhi the best IIT in the country. The disparity in the ranking parameters is the cause of the wide fluctuations. Students planning for IITs should accordingly give due consideration to the choices available.
