IIT Delhi ranks 118 in QS rankings, up from 123

The institute climbed 5 places to 118th, with stronger employment, employer reputation and citation scores driving the gain, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi retained its place as India's highest-ranked university, reaching 118th position in the QS World University Rankings 2027.
  • India now features 52 universities in the rankings, a significant rise from 14 institutions a decade ago, establishing the nation as the fastest-growing G20 country by proportional increase in ranked universities.
  • IIT-Delhi secured 39th place globally for employer reputation, while IIT-Bombay performed exceptionally well in the same category, rising to 32nd in the rankings.
  • Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan welcomed the results, crediting the National Education Policy 2020 for India's strong performance and noting the policy targets a 50% Gross Enrolment Rate by 2050.
  • India's share of global research output grew to about 5.5% of Scopus-indexed papers, yet QS noted universities require 'more deliberate international positioning' to break into the global top 100.
