Why don’t our best IITs rank among the world’s top 20 engineering colleges in the QS Rankings?

India’s IITs, while excelling nationally, rank lower globally in QS World University Rankings due to gaps in employer reputation, academic standing, research impact, and international collaborations. To compete with leaders like MIT, IITs must strengthen global industry ties, enhance faculty development, foster interdisciplinary research, boost international outreach, and invest in high-impact publications and global partnerships.
