  • The 49 universities featured in the 2019 rankings is a small but important improvement over the inclusion of 42 universities in last year's rankings.

    However, while the editorial director of the rankings, Phil Baty, said that India was "bursting with innovation and ambition", he noted that most Indian universities had remained static in the list, or had declined owing to global, and Asian competition.

  • "Sustained investment, a continued drive to attract leading global talent, and a strengthened international outlook will be key to boosting its global reputation and research influence. Its current higher education reforms could be key to helping institutions progress," added Baty.
