No Indian varsity among world’s top 200 universities

No Indian University, including the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology, has figured among world's top 200 universities in The Times Higher – Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings, while six Chinese universities have found place in the list.

Harvard University tops the league table followed by Cambridge and Oxford at second and third positions respectively. The top 10 universities are all either in the US or the Britain, a survey has found. Besides China, other Asian countries figuring in the list of world-class universities are Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea. The IITs, which figured regularly in all the previous rankings, since The Times Higher – Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings which began three years ago, have fallen off the map this year partly because of a change in evaluation norms. For this year's survey, individual IITs were assessed, and not the IIT system as a whole. And none of the seven IITs was considered good enough to find a place among the top ranking world universities. However, IIT Delhi and IIT Mumbai find mention among the world's top 50 technology institutions, with the former at 37 and latter at 33 – both way behind China's Tsinghua University, placed at 16.
