The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore broke India’s poor
ranking spell by making a debut in the world’s top 100 universities for
engineering and technology.
IISc made its entry at 99th spot in a list that remains dominated by US
institutions with Stanford, CalTech and Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) in the top three positions in the ‘Times Higher
Education (THE) Ranking for Engineering & Technology’
“This year’s stand out success story has to be India, making its debut
in this prestigious engineering and technology ranking, which represents
the top few per cent of world universities for these subject
disciplines.
“Whether you look at high tech sectors such as IT or aerospace
engineering or more traditional fields such as steelmaking, India’s
engineering and technology prowess is highly visible the world over in
the shape of companies based in India or run by people born in India,
such as Google and Microsoft, Infosys and Wipro or Tata and Mittal,”
said Phil Baty, Times Higher Education World University Rankings editor.
