Context:
IIT-Delhi has ranked 118th globally in the QS World University Rankings 2027, becoming the top Indian institution for the second consecutive year. It climbed five places from its 2026 rank of 123, while IIT-Bombay stood second among Indian institutions at 134.
Explanation:
- QS World University Rankings are released by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) to assess global higher education institutions.
- Rankings compare universities on indicators such as academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty-student ratio, research citations, international faculty, international students, employment outcomes, sustainability and international research network.
- For India, improved rankings indicate rising global visibility of IITs, IISc and central universities.
- However, Indian institutions still face challenges in research quality, faculty strength, global diversity, patents, innovation and internationalisation.
