The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi are among the top 100 institutes to be listed in the Global University Employability Ranking 2018, The Times of India reported.
Harvard topped the 2018 list, switching places with the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), the report said. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Cambridge were ranked third and fourth respectively.
According to the report, while IISc secured a place at 28th position, IIT-Delhi was ranked 53rd. IIM-Ahmedabad, which stood at No. 144, also made it to the list of the top 150 institutions globally.
The global employability ranking lists the top 150 institutions worldwide for employability, based on a global survey of around 7,000 recruitment and international managers from major businesses, it said.
“India’s performance in the employability ranking has been somewhat inconsistent since the list was first launched in 2011. Only three Indian universities made it to the list of the top 150, suggesting that the country is struggling to make the reputational ground with employers.”Simon Baker, Data Editor, The Times Higher Education, as told TOI
