Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) has emerged as the top-ranked institute from India in the latest Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings 2019.

As against being ranked at 179th place in the 2018 rankings released last year, IIT Bombay jumped 17 places to 162nd position. However, it was IISc that saw the highest jump among Indian institutes, moving 20 places up from 190th position to 170th position. Last year's top-ranked Indian institute - IIT Delhi, remained at the same position of 172nd.

Among the other top-ranked Indian institutes in the QS World University Rankings 2019, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Roorkee and IIT Guwahati improved their rankings from 293 last year to 283, from 308 to 295, from 431-440 band to 381, and from 501-550 band to 472nd position respectively.
IIT Madras, however, remained unchanged at 264th position.

The 2019 edition of QS World University Rankings ranks the world's top 1,000 universities for the first time - the best of the 4,700 institutions that were eligible for inclusion.
"In keeping with this new higher number, we have also increased the number of institutions receiving a specific rank, by moving the point at which we break into bands from 401+ to 501+," the ranking agency stated.
