Again, none of the Indian universities could make it to the top 200 universities of the world. In the World University Ranking 2013-14 released by The Times Higher Education, California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California topped the list with overall score of 93 followed by the University of Oxford, Harvard University and Stanford University. Peking University, China is ranked 1 from the BRICS and emerging economies. But there is some relief for India in this category. Panjab University, Chandigarh is ranked no. 13 among universities in emerging economies, thanks to its (Panjab University) sustained focus on research which has given it an edge over the IITs in the Ranking. The World University Ranking—based on 13 performance indicators grouped in five categories, namely, teaching learning environment; research volume and reputation; research influence—clearly indicates the deplorable condition of research in Indian universities. But have we ever given a serious thought on why do Indian universities perform so poorly on global university rankings? Where do Indian universities lag behind— in research, or in academic infrastructure or in teaching-learning methodology?
