[h=1]IISc in top-100 world university ranking list[/h]India makes its debut in prestigious THE ranking
The Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, has become the country’s first institution to enter the Times Higher Education’s list of top 100 global engineering and technology schools, released on Wednesday.
With the top 10 positions in the list being held by American schools like Stanford, CalTech and MIT, IISc was ranked 99th in the list.
The ranking agency published the top 100 list after surveying 695 engineering and tech schools in the world, 19 of which were from India.
“This year’s stand out success story has to be India, making its debut in this prestigious engineering and technology ranking, which represents the top few per cent of world universities for these subject disciplines,” Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings editor Phil Baty said.
An international ranking agency headquartered in London, Times Higher Education has been publishing the top 100 list of engineering and technology institutions since 2010.
“The IISc, Bengaluru, has made it to the world’s top 100 list for the first time since we’ve published this ranking,” Baty added. President Pranab Mukherjee recently complimented both IISc and Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi for making it to the QS’ top 200 world university ranking list in which IISc was ranked 147, and IIT-Delhi was positioned at 179.
