Highlights of THE Asia University Rankings 2021

  • Indian Institute of Science (37th) is India’s highest ranked university for seventh year in a row.
  • Indian Institute of Science is joined by Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (55th) and Indian Institute of Technology Indore (=78th) in the top 100
  • 14 Indian institutions debut in rankings, making India the third most represented country or region in the rankings (63 universities ranked in total)
  • Majority of Indian universities ranking for a minimum second year maintain or improve their position (25 out of 49 or 51%)
  • 551 universities appear in rankings in total compared to 489 in 2020, a 13% increase
  • 30 countries and regions represented in rankings
  • Chinese universities claim top two positions for the second year in a row
In the words of Phil Baty, chief knowledge officer at THE: “The THE Asia University Rankings are becoming increasingly competitive every year, with more universities across more countries and regions participating, so it’s great to see India continue to secure a number of positions in the top 100, and very impressive to both see three debut institutions appear in the top 200 and the majority of institutions ranking for at least a second year improve on their positions since 2020.

“India’s record number of participating institutions this year is testament to the willingness of its universities to stand up on the regional and world stage to showcase their strengths and benchmark against their peers. We hope that we continue to see numbers grow over the coming years as Indian universities adapt to the post-Covid world, and the opportunities it may present to attract and retain more regional students and academic staff as disruption to traditional talent flow continues.”
