JNU ranked as India's top university, IIM-Ahmedabad among world's top 25 for management studies: QS Rankings

In News
  • IIM-Ahmedabad is among the top 25 institutions globally for business and management studies while IIM-Bangalore and IIM-Calcutta are among the top 50.
Major Rankings
  • Jawaharlal Nehru University is the highest-ranked university in India in the coveted rankings announced by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), the London-based higher education analytics firm.
  • The university is ranked at 20th position globally for development studies.
  • The Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences in Chennai is at 24th position globally for dentistry studies.
  • According to QS, India stands as one of the world's most rapidly expanding research centres.
  • From 2017 to 2022, its research output surged by an impressive 54%, based on data from Scopus/Elsevier, QS' bibliometric and research affiliate.
  • This increase is not only more than double the global average but also significantly exceeds the output of its more traditionally recognised Western peers.
  • India is now the world's fourth-largest producer of research, generating 1.3 million academic papers in this period, trailing only behind China's 4.5 million, the United States' 4.4 million, and slightly less than the United Kingdom's 1.4 million.
  • India ranks fifth regionally for the number of top 200 entries and sixth for the number of top 100 entries
QS Rankings
  • The 2024 QS World University Rankings by Subject provide independent comparative analysis on the performance of more than 16,400 individual university programmes, taken by students at more than 1,500 universities in 95 countries and territories, across 56 academic disciplines and five broad faculty areas (Arts and Humanities, Engineering and Technology, Life Sciences, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences).
  • In the broader Asian regional context, India secured the second spot in terms of the number of universities featured (69), trailing only mainland China (101), and holds the fourth position in the total number of ranked entries (454) after China (1,041), Japan (510) and South Korea (499).
  • QS uses five key metrics to compile the subject rankings. The precise weighting of each metric varies by subject to reflect differing publication cultures across disciplines.
  • For example, research performance, based on the analysis of the bibliometric database Scopus/Elsevier, is deemed to be a stronger indicator of institutional strength in Medicine, where the discipline is highly reliant on dissemination of research, than it is in Performing Arts, where the discipline is more vocational in nature.
