For the very first time Panjab university is under top 400 in Times Higher Education World University Rankings and second surprise is that Panjab university is well ahead of old IITs. .
If we look at Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2012, only two indian institutes (IIT Kharagpur and IIT Roorkee) were under top 400, but this year Panjab university has also joined this group and has beat all IITs this time.
“Though the IITs have done well in certain disciplines in other earlier rankings, neither the IITs nor the IIMs are multi-disciplinary institutes. However, that’s no excuse to slip up in these rankings. IITs need to do better by focusing on aspects like research output,” said MM Pallam Raju, Union minister of human resource development, commenting on the IITs faring poorly in the global rankings.
