IIT Delhi waved
According to the ranking released on Thursday morning, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Delhi is the highest ranked Indian institution. The institute has climbed more than 70 places in two years to get 123rd in the prestigious list. With the inclusion of eight new Indian institutions in the ranking this year, the number of institutions in India has now increased to 54. India ranks fourth after America (192 institutes), Britain (90 institutes) and mainland China (72 institutes).
In any other country or region, there are not so many universities in the ranking this year. Jordan and Azerbaijan have finished second in this case and both of them have six universities in the ranking of 2026. Universities are assessed based on various performance indicators under the prestigious ‘QS World University Rankings’ to be published every year by the London -based global higher education analysis company ‘Quacharylie Symonds’ (QS).
What Dharmendra Pradhan said on QS World University rankings
Dharmendra Pradhan said in a post on ‘X’, “With a record 54 institutions in the world’s best higher education institutions, India has achieved a new height in the QS World University 2026 rankings. In 2014, only 11 universities were included in this list, whose number has now increased to 54. This five -fold jump is a proof of the transformational educational reforms launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government in the last decade. NEP 2020 is not only changing our educational landscape, but is also bringing revolution in it. ”
