The QS World University Ranking 2023-2024 was released late night on Tuesday, 28th June and it brought great news for the Indian Institute of Technology in Mumbai. It achieved the highest rank ever in its history, breaking into the world’s top 150 universities in the latest edition of the Quacquarelli Symonds World University Rankings list.
IIT Bombay is the 2nd Indian higher education institution which has made it to the top 150 list after a gap of 8 years, with the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore previously achieving this feat in 2016 with a ranking of 147.
Nunzio Quacquarelli, Founder & CEO of QS, was proud to announce the news. “I'd like to congratulate Indian universities on their ever-improving performance. We've rated 2900 institutions for this year's ranking system, and there are 45 Indian universities that are appearing in the ranking. That is a 297% increase over the last nine years. So really continuous, steady improvement by Indian universities.”
He also shared his admiration for IIT Bombay for coming 148 in the world as the top-performing Indian university ever and the top-performing public university. “I had the honour of meeting PM Modi in 2021. I really was impressed by his passion and commitment to improving higher education in India and his involvement in the national education policy,” he added.
The QS rankings were based on factors including academic reputation, employer reputation, citations per faculty, student-to-faculty ratio, proportion of international faculty, and proportion of international students. And it was no surprise then that MIT was again named the world’s top university by the QS World University Rankings, which have been announced for the 12th year in a row.
