QS World Rankings Announced: Check Out Top Indian Universities And Their Global Ranks

The Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) University Rankings 2025 are out and an IIT has emerged as the top institute in India. While the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US held on to its top spot in the rankings since last year, the University of Cambridge in the UK fell three ranks to bag the fifth spot. However, another UK university — the Imperial College London — replaced it at the second spot. The University of Oxford, too, retained its spot at number 3 in the global rankings.
