Indian universities miss out on another global ranking CHENNAI: Even as the ministry of human resource development readies an India-centric ranking of higher educational institutions, just four Indian institutions figure on another list of top universities in the world. The inaugural global ranking by US education analysis and ranking website US News also reveals that no Indian institution can match up to the top 300 in the world. University of Delhi, Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, IIT-Bombay and IIT-Kharagpur have been ranked 316th, 323rd, 405th and 484th, respectively. But University of Delhi and IISc, at 45th and 46th places respectively, figure among the top 50 institutions in Asia. IIT-Madras is not on the list. Four of the top five institutions in the Global Universities Ranking are based in the US. Harvard University has occupied the first position, followed by MIT, University of California - Berkeley, and Stanford University. Oxford University in the UK comes fifth, followed by Cambridge University, California Institute of Technology, University of California - Los Angeles, University of Chicago and Columbia University.
