In Times Higher Education Asia University Ranking 2014, West Bengal’s Jadavpur University has been ranked 76th among Asian universities.
Giving this information to the West Bengal Assembly during Zero Hour on Wednesday, Socialist Unity Centre of India (SUCI) member Tarun Kanti Naskar said people in the state now could be proud of at least one of its educational institutions.
Naskar said the IITs have enough central assistance, but the city-based Jadavpur University achieved it with limited resources.
