P. Jindal Global University, added:<\/strong> \u201cThe need of the hour today is to\ndetermine that higher education and its best results accrue to every citizen\nwho aspires for a better and fuller life. I am happy that the Times Higher Education\nRankings for BRICS and Emerging Economies, which are for the first time being\ndeclared and announced from India, will prove to be a boost for our education\nsystem and act as a catalyst for policy makers to engender positive and meaningful\nchange in this neglected area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nInternational Institute for Higher Education Research &amp; Capacity Building\n(IIHEd) of 91̽»¨ has partnered with&nbsp;<strong>Times\nHigher Education&nbsp;<\/strong>for the BRICS Emerging Economies Summit where the\nrankings were declared for this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speaking about the partnership Professor Raj Kumar, Founding\nVice Chancellor, 91̽»¨ and Director IIHEd<\/strong> said, \u201cThe International Institute for Higher\nEducation Research &amp; Capacity Building of O.P. Jindal Global university is\nexcited to collaborate with THE to host this summit as it will be the first\ntime that it comes to India.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speaking about rankings Professor Kumar said<\/strong>, \u201cI am\nhappy to see Indian Universities gain strength in the 2016 rankings. There is immense\nneed for the Indian Higher Education Institutes to develop and strengthen\ninternational collaborations and acquire a global orientation as traditionally\nthey have been inward looking and shrug off global competitiveness. Rankings\nare not the end but a means to start deliberations for a road map for becoming\nglobally competitive and more accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speaking about the performance\nindicators that the rankings are based on Phil Baty said,<\/strong> \u201cThese rankings are based on the same\nestablished and trusted thirteen performance indicators used to create the\nannual <em>Times Higher Education<\/em> World\nUniversity Rankings, but they are specially calibrated to reflect the\ndevelopment priorities of universities in emerging economies.India spends less than 0.88 per cent of\nits GDP on science research, compared with 2.76 per cent for the United States\nand 4.04 per cent for South Korea. With the population of young people in the\ncountry continuing to expand resulting in further pressure on resources, it is\nnow more crucial than ever that India invests in research and strengthens its\nlinks with other nations. The government has spoken about improving its\nuniversities and promised to improve financial support but is yet to implement\nan initiative in this area. It will need to act, and fast, if it wants to match\nup against its fellow BRICS nations and other developing markets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nBRICS markets gained strength in this year\u2019s rankings and a number of nations\noutside the BRICS have also had a good year. Chile has six institutions\nrepresented (two last year) while Colombia has two universities included (one last\nyear). The National Autonomous University of Mexico (23rd) is the highest\nranked Latin American institution outside Brazil. In South Asia, seven Thai\nuniversities are ranked (three last year); Malaysia is represented by four\nuniversities (one last year) and institutions from Indonesia and Bangladesh are\nincluded for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>European\ncountries making their debut in the 2016 ranking include Romania, Slovakia,\nSlovenia, Lithuania, Estonia, Serbia, Cyprus and Greece. Meanwhile, African and\nMiddle Eastern nations represented for the first time include Kenya, Nigeria,\nGhana, Jordan, Qatar and Oman. Egypt returns to the ranking, having had no\ninstitutions represented last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>TIMES\nHIGHER EDUCATION<\/em><\/strong><strong>\nBRICS &amp; EMERGING ECONOMIES UNIVERSITY RANKINGS 2016 \u2013TOP 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copyright\n<em>Times Higher Education<\/em> 2015<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nany of this or any table is reproduced, you must credit: <em>Times Higher Education<\/em> and link to the full results and\nanalysis at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewur.com\">www.thewur.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"wp-block-table\"><tbody><tr><td>\n  <strong>Name<\/strong>\n  <\/td><td>\n  <strong>Country<\/strong>\n  <\/td><td>\n  <strong>Rank 2016<\/strong>\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Peking\n  University\n  <\/td><td>\n  China\n  <\/td><td>\n  1\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Tsinghua\n  University\n  <\/td><td>\n  China\n  <\/td><td>\n  2\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Lomonosov\n  Moscow State University\n  <\/td><td>\n  Russia\n  <\/td><td>\n  3\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  University\n  of Cape Town\n  <\/td><td>\n  South\n  Africa\n  <\/td><td>\n  4\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  National\n  Taiwan University\n  <\/td><td>\n  Taiwan\n  <\/td><td>\n  5\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  University\n  of the Witwatersrand\n  <\/td><td>\n  South\n  Africa\n  <\/td><td>\n  6\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  University\n  of Science and Technology of China\n  <\/td><td>\n  China\n  <\/td><td>\n  7\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Zhejiang\n  University\n  <\/td><td>\n  China\n  <\/td><td>\n  8\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  University\n  of S\u00e3o Paulo\n  <\/td><td>\n  Brazil\n  <\/td><td>\n  9\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Shanghai\n  Jiao Tong University\n  <\/td><td>\n  China\n  <\/td><td>\n  10\n  <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>ENDS<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For more information and interviews,\nplease contact: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kakul\nRizvi: <a href=\"mailto:krizvi@jgu.edu.in\">krizvi@jgu.edu.in<\/a>;\n8396907273<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nagendra\nGupta: <a href=\"mailto:nagendra@jgu.edu.in\">nagendra@jgu.edu.in<\/a>;\n8396907393<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fran\nLangdon on +44 (0)20 3179 0720 \/ <a href=\"mailto:fran.langdon@vancomms.com\">fran.langdon@vancomms.com<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For media alerts:<\/strong>\nplease follow us on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/THEworldunirank\">@THEworldunirank<\/a>\nor via Facebook <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-facebook wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttp:\/\/www.facebook.com\/THEworldunirank\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In\nChina, please follow us on SinaWeibo: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttp:\/\/www.weibo.com\/timeshighereducation\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indian Institute of Science makes its debut in top 20 at 16th place but India must work harder to compete with other developing nations.
