Why Are Indian Universities Not In The Top 30 Of The QS University Rankings?

QS University Rankings for the year 2021 are finally out! QS Rankings is a yearly annual publication of university rankings done by Quacquarelli Symonds headquartered in London. Quacquarelli Symonds is one of the world's largest international higher education networks which connects global universities with students. Wondering why these rankings matter to you? Well, for starters they tell you where your favourite b-school stands. And the second most important reason is the methodology. Universities that are part of these rankings are measured on a variety of criteria like academic reputation, university reputation, recruiter ranking, etc. These rankings tell you if the top universities are worth your investment. But, surprisingly, Indian colleges and b-schools didn’t even rank in the top 30s in QS Rankings, so forget the top 5s. How is this possible? Let’s find out.
