    Solution

    According to the Times Higher Education’s (THE) World University Rankings 2024, Indian Institute of Science (IISc) emerged as the top Indian university as the  institute bettered its position from the 251-300 range last year to 201-510.  This year’s rankings included 1,904 universities; of these, 91 were from India — a significant jump from last year’s 75 and 56 in 2020. Among Indian varsities, IISc was followed by Anna University, Chennai, and Jamia Milia Islamia University, New Delhi. Both figured in the 501-600 range. Among Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT), Guwahati ranked best, with a position in the range of 601-800. It was followed by IITs Dhanbad and Patna, also in the same ranking slab. IIT Guwahati and IIT Dhanbad moved up two bands to join the world’s top 800 universities, from 1,001-1,200 last year. China has the best-ranked universities, overall, in Asia. The biggest drivers for this jump are China (from 11 to 13) and Japan (from 2 to 5).  However, no Asian university featured in the top 10. The list was topped by the UK’s University of Oxford, followed by Stanford University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US.  Seven of the top 10 universities were from the US, with the rest from the UK.
