New Delhi: The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has maintained its top spot among Indian institutions in the latest round of Times Higher Education (THE) rankings which has been boycotted by a majority of the IITs for the third year in a row due to the concerns about transparency.
The IISc is ranked in the range of 251-300, making it the top Indian institution overall. According to a statement released by THE, the University of Oxford has emerged as the top institution globally among 1,799 universities from 104 countries.
The Shoolini University of Biotechnology and Management Sciences (351-400 total), which debuted in the rankings, has grabbed the second spot among Indian colleges. In the universities category of the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2022, the Himachal Pradesh-based private university was ranked in the 96th position.
However, Shoolini University and JSS Academy of Higher Education and Researchl, another private university in Karnataka, share the top rank among Indian educational institutions. Alagappa University, a public university in TamilNadu, has been placed third in India (401-500).
Last year, IIT Ropar won the second place in the Indian category, but it has dropped to sixth place this year and to the 501-600 band globally from the 351-400 band last year.
IIT Indore is ranked in the 601-800 band among the other IITs that participated in the rankings, followed by IIT Patna and IIT Gandhinagar in the 801-1000 band.
According to the latest reports, a total of eight IITs feature in this year’s rankings by THE. It was not immediately clear as to how many IITs participated in the rankings process. The complete list will be released Wednesday.
Some of the criterias based on which the institutes are ranked are: Teaching (30%), research (30%), citations (30%), international outlook (7.5%), and industrial output (2.5%). A "reputational survey" has a 15% weight in both teaching and research.
The reports revealed that the organisation had discussions with the “IITs (and other institutions) on several occasions and continue to welcome discussions with them” on ironing out the differences.
In the reports, the spokesperson said that they have given a detailed explanation of the rankings methodology, and have listened to their input. In the next edition of the ranking, to be launched next year, they have incorporated some of their suggestions.
However, IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi are not transparent enough to maintain the rankings. Prof. Subhasis Chaudhury, director of IIT-B, stated that their procedure' transparency component has not improved. A rank is immediately assigned to the institute. We ought to be aware of the procedure. Without knowing what we are involved in specifically, there is no need to join.
IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi were placed in the 401–500 overall band, below the Ropar and Indore campuses, in the report (published as THE 2020 list), which was the last time significant IITs participated in THE rankings.
