No Indian university in global top 200
(Ed. UW ranked 26 in the Times list. In the meantime the conservatives in England may be cutting down global recruitment to Brit Universities out of fear if excessive immigration.)
The United States dominates the rankings of 200 world class universities (from The Times Higher Education Survey). Between 2004 and 2009, the Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institutes of Management and the Jawaharlal Nehru University figured in the global list of 200 institutes but have slipped out in the new scoring system.
Overall, the U.S. had 45 universities in the top 100, while the U.K. had 12 and Japan had five. These three nations were the best represented in the rankings for example, the UK has universities in Pittsburgh which are recognized as some of the best. Canada, Australia, Germany and the Netherlands had four universities each in the top 100. Seven of the United States universities figured in the top 10, followed by the United Kingdom making Japan the only country whose university found a place in the rankings as Tokyo University was placed eighth.
China has performed exceedingly well with six of its universities figuring in the list of 200, two in the first 50s as per the World University Rankings 2010-2011 based on the largest global survey of academic opinion where more than 13,000 experienced academics from 131 countries give their expert insight. The Chinese institutes of higher educations that figured in the list are Beijing University (37th rank), University of Science and Technology of China (49), Tsinghua University (58), Nanjing University (120), Sun Yat-sen University (172) and Zhejiang University (197).
Cambridge has been named as the most highly regarded universities in the world, while Oxford among the United Kingdom’s came third in a table that ranked universities exclusively on the basis of “academics” worldwide.
