Elite Indian institutions such as IITs and IISc slipping in global rankings is alarming. These institutions are the pride of the educational system. Instead of seeking to explain the fall by finding fault with the ranking process, they must change their practices and compete. They owe this to their reputations.

Twenty years back, China and korea were not better than us – but today theyou have better ranked institutes. Our directors should visit such institutes to find out how they could achieve it. To be frank theye have better infrastructure and better research outputs. Iisc is older but competes well with iits – iits go on gloating about iit b.techs. but research matters for ranking.
Reservation hata do apne aap pta chal jaega ranking me farak
Do you have any idea about how rankings are done what’s the process? Whether we are ranking a fish by asking it to climb a tree or not.
This is just lazy journalism. First go and understand the ranking process, being a elite Institute is no joke.
The ranking system was always flawed that’s why always all American Institutions are in top 10 and Jio Institute is better than some new IITs
