17 Indian institutions among Times’ top 800

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2015-16 has more Indian institutes from previous editions after the list was expanded to top 800 from 400. But none of them breached the top 200.

The highest ranked institution is the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, placed in 251-300 rank group and the other institution among the top 400 is Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (351-400 cohort).



In all, India has 17 universities in the list, matching its BRIC counterpart Brazil. Among Asian countries China continues to dominate, while Japan and South Korea have fallen behind

Phil Baty, the editor of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, said: "It is good news for India that 17 of its institutions feature in this year's list of the world's best universities but it will have to work harder to compete with other emerging economies such as China which has 37 institutions featured in this year's rankings and Russia which has fewer institutions overall but a higher proportion in the upper echelons of the table."
