Study reveals – IISc is the best engineering institute in India

As per the latest study released by Zinnov, titled “Top Research Faculty in Tier-1 Engineering Institutions in India”, IISc , followed by IIT Kanpur and IIT Delhi, emerged as the top institutes for faculty research competence in India.
The faculty in these institutes has the highest number of industry and government research grants (~5-6 per faculty), international and national journal references, conference publications and patents (~90 per faculty) to their credit. In addition, these top institutes have higher proportion of senior faculty members (all PhDs) with greater overall experience (average of ~20 years).
The study also unveiled that majority of faculty members in the top institutes have good international exposure both in terms of research and teaching. The faculty at IIT Kanpur has the highest foreign university experience with ~15 per cent of them having taught abroad and 2/3rds qualified with foreign post doctoral/PhD experience.
Major findings:
  1. IISc leads Engineering Institutions In India In Research Faculty
  2. IIT Kanpur ranked 1 in the Mechanical Engineering discipline.
  3. For Computer Science Engineering Department- IIT Delhi emerges as the top institute
  4. Electrical & Electronics Engineering Department and Aero Department- IISc emerges as the top institute because of its strong research focus and overall faculty experience
  5. IIT Madras emerged as the overall leader in this space with ~15coveted achievements and awards (IEEE fellowship, Bhatnagar Awards etc.), 60+ international awards/ fellowships (Humboldt fellowship, MNC grants) and 40+ national awards/fellowships (e.g. Boyscast, INSA, INAE fellows).
