Times Higher Education Rankings: IISc back in top university list
Sole Indian institute features in Times Higher Education World
Reputation Rankings after seven years
Education News: The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bengaluru has made
it to the list of top 100 in the Times Higher Education (THE) World Reputation
Rankings 2018. The last time it was featured was in 2011.
The annual ranking highlights the top 100 global university
brands, which now includes IISc in the 91-100 band.
Commenting on the rankings, Phil Baty, editorial director of
Global Rankings for THE, said, “Only 100 institutions in the world make it to
this annual list of the most powerful university brands, so it is a highly
significant achievement to be included — and fantastic to see an Indian
presence this year.”
The list was compiled from a globally representative survey
of more than 10,000 senior academics. IISc was the only Indian institute to
have made it this year.
“That prestige – that ‘brand’ – is vital for any university
in attracting the necessary talent to allow it to compete and thrive, as well
as drawing in strategic partners, philanthropy and investment. As initiatives
to improve and internationalise the nation's higher education system gain momentum, I hope
to see a strengthened Indian presence in this table in future years,” Baty
said.
Overall, the US continues to dominate, with Harvard University taking the top spot for the
eighth consecutive year, followed by Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) and Stanford University at second and third place,
along with 41 other US institutions, that made it to the top 100. The top 20
comprised of 13 American universities, four from the UK, two from China and one
from Japan.
