The Center for World University Rankings (CWUR) released a report on May 13, 2024, highlighting that Indian universities have experienced a decline in performance due to global competition from well-funded institutions.
In the 2024 edition of the Global 2000 list, 64 Indian universities and institutions were featured, with the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad securing the top rank among Indian institutions. This year, IIM Ahmedabad’s position improved slightly, securing the 410th rank, while the Indian Institute of Science dropped seven places, currently positioned at 501st.
The report revealed that the improvement in research output is not translating into comparable success in higher education. It presented mixed insights from the ranking ladder, with 33 institutions dropping their positions and 32 improving their ranks simultaneously.
