Rankings of Higher education Institutes in India

In a recent survey by Times Higher Education Rankings, only a handful of Indian Institutes managed to perform in the overall rankings. For some, it may be the beginning of something very exciting, for others this may be a huge heartbreak. Each year, we hear a lot about the impact of the Indian institutes, and how the Indian education system is ready to compete with some of the more successful ones in the America and Europe. However, if we talk about the sheer performance in various rankings, it appears that we still have a lot to achieve. It’s not that everything is going down, when we talk about the higher education system in India. One can easily point out a lot of correct decisions and policy improvements, which have already reserved their place amongst the best institutes.

The Indian School of Mines Dhanbad has been one of the most prominent institutes both in terms of student satisfaction as well as the student placement. Although, it hasn’t yet been able to crack the top 100 list, however, the signs are very positive as well as promising. It will be fair to say that if the institute carries on the same path, then it will not be far from being successful. Other private as well as government institutes can take a clue form such institutes and perform to the maximum. Moreover, these institutes can act as model colleges for higher education institutes in other countries. Not just that, they can encourage and motivate others to perform to their maximum potential.

Some of the best institutes, for instance, top IIT in India, have also had a motivating growth story. Apart from the conventions of the modern world, these institutes have managed to perform and outscore the other institutes. Be it any factor, institute rankings, placements, student satisfaction, quality of student life, or quality of education, these IITs have managed to score exceptional points in each of them. Other developing economies, for instance, China has managed to outscore India, with more Chinese institutes are able to outscore the ones in India. Besides that, the budget allocation to the improvement of higher education in India is one the higher side, yet the results haven’t been below the expectations.


Furthermore, one thing is crystal clear. Indian institutes have shown a tremendous potential. Now, the focus should be more on skill development and implementing crucial policies, without any Huss and fuss. India boasts of a great intellectual history, therefore, every effort has to be made to justify that baggage. On top of that, Indian higher education centers should replicate the successful educational models of countries like Japan, the US, and the UK. For instance, Japan has been successfully able to implement its state of the art technology to improve the level of its public as well as private education centers. Japan’s holistic growth model can be a huge motivating factor for not just the Indian institutes, but also others belonging to the developing nation’s bracket. Thus, IITs can play a huge role by becoming the perfect role models for other smaller institutes. Eventually, the growth of our country is directly proportional to the state of education in India.
