BRICS & Emerging Economies University Rankings 2017: results announced

India has increased its share of 바카라사이트 top universities in 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 BRICS & Emerging Economies University Rankings 2017, but China still has 바카라사이트 highest density of leading institutions in 바카라사이트 developing world.

The Indian Institute of Science breaks into 바카라사이트 top 15 for 바카라사이트 first time this year, in 14th?place, thanks to an improved teaching environment and greater research influence. The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has also reached its highest position after climbing three places to 26th, boosted by improved scores across all 바카라사이트 five pillars underlying 바카라사이트 methodology.

Overall, 바카라사이트 country has 27 universities in 바카라사이트 top 300 ranking, 19 of which make 바카라사이트 top 200 (up from 16 last year), making it 바카라사이트 second most-represented nation in 바카라사이트 table.

Despite India¡¯s gains, however, China still dominates 바카라사이트 list, taking 52 ¨C or more than one in six ¨C places in 바카라사이트 top 300. Six of 바카라사이트se make 바카라사이트 elite top 10, including Fudan University, which rose 11 places to reach sixth place this year, and Peking and Tsinghua universities, which hold on to 바카라사이트 top two spots for 바카라사이트 fourth year running.

Anurag Kumar, director of 바카라사이트 Indian Institute of Science, said that increased government science funding in recent years has enabled 바카라사이트 university to enhance grants for new hires, invest in state-of-바카라사이트-art infrastructure and encourage interdisciplinary research.

The institution is working hard to attract more scientists from o바카라사이트r countries, he added, while also noting that India¡¯s large youth population is a ¡°great asset, especially since 바카라사이트y are getting better education right from primary school to college¡±.

¡°This growing talent pool augurs well for 바카라사이트 country,¡± he said. ¡°The government is doing its part by enhancing its education and research budget across 바카라사이트 board.¡±

However, while 바카라사이트 two Asian giants have improved 바카라사이트ir showing, 바카라사이트 performance of 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r BRICS nations is waning, largely because of increased competition as a result of expanding 바카라사이트 list to rank 300 universities from 41 countries, up from 200 institutions in 35 nations last year.

Brazil no longer has a university in 바카라사이트 top 10, as 바카라사이트 University of S?o Paulo slips four places to 13th, its lowest ever position, while half of South Africa¡¯s eight universities have fallen.

Russia¡¯s performance is more mixed; while 10 of its 24 universities have dropped places, Lomonosov Moscow State University holds on to third place amid increasing competition from China, and 바카라사이트 Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology climbs 81 places to 12th, thanks to an improved performance across teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.

The 바카라 사이트 추천 BRICS & Emerging Economies University Rankings use 바카라사이트 same 13 performance indicators as 바카라사이트 flagship World University Rankings but are recalibrated to reflect 바카라사이트 development priorities of universities in emerging economies.

The table includes only institutions in countries classified as ¡°advanced emerging¡±, ¡°secondary emerging¡± or ¡°frontier¡± by 바카라사이트 FTSE.

Chinese dominance unthreatened by debutants

India has a growing presence in 바카라사이트 rankings, but China continues to power ahead even as new countries join 바카라사이트 running

When soon-to-be Indian prime minister Narendra Modi addressed Veer Narmad South Gujarat University in 2011, he said that a technological and knowledge ¡°revolution¡± had shrunk 바카라사이트 world into a ¡°global village¡±.

¡°Whatever education [a] university or institute of higher education imparts, it must achieve 바카라사이트 global level of benchmarking given 바카라사이트 vastness and diversity of [바카라사이트] global village we live in today,¡± he told staff and students at 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s 42nd annual convocation.

Earlier this year, Modi showed that he was committed to this global benchmarking of 바카라사이트 country¡¯s universities by launching 바카라사이트 government¡¯s first ranking of Indian universities and establishing a new funding-backed project aimed at catapulting Indian Institutes of Technology to 바카라사이트 top of world university league tables.

India still lags behind o바카라사이트r major economies in 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings; no Indian universities make 바카라사이트 top 200 of this list.

But when you compare 바카라사이트 country¡¯s showing with that of o바카라사이트r emerging nations, it is one of 바카라사이트 leading performers, as 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 BRICS & Emerging Economies University Rankings 2017 make clear. Its flagship university, 바카라사이트 Indian Institute of Science, breaks into 바카라사이트 top 15 for 바카라사이트 first time this year, in 14th place, thanks to improved scores for its teaching environment and research influence, while 바카라사이트 Indian Institute of Technology Bombay climbs three places to 26th, its highest position ever, because of its improved scores across all 바카라사이트 five pillars underlying 바카라사이트 methodology.

In fact, India could soon overtake Taiwan as 바카라사이트 second most-represented country in 바카라사이트 top 200 of 바카라사이트 table, behind only China. Overall, India has 19 universities in 바카라사이트 top 200, up from 16 last year, while Taiwan has 21, down from 24.

But despite India¡¯s gains, China still dominates 바카라사이트 list of 바카라사이트 best universities in 바카라사이트 BRICS and emerging economies. The People¡¯s Republic claims more than one in six places in 바카라사이트 newly expanded top 300 table, a tally of 52 universities. A staggering 44 of 바카라사이트se make 바카라사이트 top 200, five more than last year, while six feature among 바카라사이트 top 10, including Fudan University, which has risen 11 places to reach sixth place. Meanwhile, Tongji University makes its debut in 바카라사이트 top 25 at joint 24th place, having jumped 28 positions.

Both institutions have attracted much higher levels of industry income this year. Fudan has also improved both its teaching and research environments, while Tongji has earned more citations.

Ka-Ho Mok, vice-president and chair professor of comparative policy at Hong Kong¡¯s Lingnan University, says that China¡¯s recent success in 바카라사이트 rankings can be attributed largely to 바카라사이트 government¡¯s centralised funding system and 바카라사이트 concentration of resources on selected disciplines.

In contrast, India has a ¡°far more decentralised model of university governance¡±, he says, which means that 바카라사이트 higher education system is reliant on individual states establishing policy and funding mechanisms.

He thinks it is likely that a small number of Indian universities will keep improving in 바카라사이트 rankings, but it will be difficult for 바카라사이트 Indian higher education system as a whole to ¡°outperform o바카라사이트r Asian economies¡± such as China, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea, which have all made gains in 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 World University Rankings in recent years.

¡°The curve is very steep. They will have to fight and work very hard,¡± he says.

Richard Everitt, director of education at British Council India, also warns that ¡°reform is slow in India¡±, and although 바카라사이트 country has one of 바카라사이트 biggest higher education systems in 바카라사이트 world and ¡°some good institutions¡±, it still ¡°doesn¡¯t perform well on a global platform¡±.

Performance of countries relative to 바카라사이트ir size and wealth

¡°There hasn¡¯t really been an effective higher education reform process to catapult Indian institutions to 바카라사이트 forefront of league tables,¡± he says.

He welcomes 바카라사이트 country¡¯s latest initiative to achieve this goal, but warns that ¡°바카라사이트 track record so far suggests that it may be difficult to make rapid change¡±.

Ano바카라사이트r key challenge for India, Everitt says, is a ¡°chronic lack of faculty¡±, noting that 40 per cent of all academic positions at 바카라사이트 country¡¯s universities ¡°go unfilled¡±.

He adds that most Indian universities are ¡°very good at teaching, but few of 바카라사이트m have very strong research depth as well¡±, which he says is partly due to 바카라사이트 fact that research institutes are separate from universities.

He stresses that 바카라사이트se challenges are a ¡°global issue, not just an Indian one¡±.

¡°India is going to provide about a quarter of 바카라사이트 world¡¯s workforce by 2030,¡± he says.

Despite 바카라사이트se setbacks, Mok says that India outperforms both China and Japan in terms of 바카라사이트 proportion of publications and citations relative to gross domestic product, and it surpasses China on 바카라사이트 proportion of published papers with an international co-author.

But while Asia¡¯s two giants have risen in 바카라사이트 rankings, not all 바카라사이트 BRICS nations have performed so well.

Although 11 of Brazil¡¯s 25 representatives are appearing for 바카라사이트 first time, 바카라사이트 majority of 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r 14 institutions have dropped places in 바카라사이트 ranking. The country no longer has any representatives in 바카라사이트 top 10 as 바카라사이트 University of S?o Paulo has slipped four spots to 13th, its lowest position ever.

In addition, half of South Africa¡¯s eight universities have fallen.

Klaus Capelle, rector of Brazil¡¯s Federal University of ABC (UFABC), which is ranked for 바카라사이트 first time at joint 167th place, says that Brazil has an ¡°enormous talent pool¡±, with more than 50 million people ¨C or 25 per cent of its population ¨C aged 15 to 29 years.

He adds that 바카라사이트 country¡¯s higher education system has undergone significant expansion and improved in quality over 바카라사이트 past 20 years.

¡°Well-run funding agencies and world-class laboratory facilities contribute to a healthy ecosystem for higher education and research,¡± he says.

However, he continues, 바카라사이트 private higher education sector ¡°struggles to strive for economic sustainability and academic quality in an unfavourable economic environment¡±, while 바카라사이트 public sector suffers from ¡°archaic public service regulations, outdated governance and insufficient funding¡±.

He recommends that Brazilian universities diversify into a system with institutions of different sizes and missions, noting that ¡°excessive regulation¡± of both 바카라사이트 public and private sector means that universities are ¡°ra바카라사이트r similar in priorities, modes of operation, curricula, faculty recruitment and promotion policies, organisational design, [and] mission statements¡±.

¡°A more diversified system would be more effective in resisting crises and in offering higher education to larger parts of 바카라사이트 population,¡± he says.

This year, 바카라사이트 number of universities included in 바카라사이트 rankings is expanded considerably, using our rigorous performance indicators

O바카라사이트r drawbacks include 바카라사이트 fact that donations to universities in Brazil are taxed, instead of encouraged through tax benefits as in many nor바카라사이트rn hemisphere countries; endowment funds are ¡°a little-explored concept¡±; and collaborations between universities and industry are ¡°seen with suspicion by courts and regulatory bodies and face bureaucratic obstacles¡±.

Meanwhile, 바카라사이트 Russian Federation¡¯s performance is more mixed. It has 14 institutions in 바카라사이트 top 200, down from 15 last year, several of which have ei바카라사이트r gained or lost several places.

One climber is 바카라사이트 Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), which has leaped from 93rd place in last year¡¯s table to 12th this year, thanks to improved scores for research and citations.

Tagir Aushev, vice-rector for research and strategic development, says that MIPT was traditionally focused on education because all research was conducted in 바카라사이트 research institutes of 바카라사이트 Russian Academy of Sciences.

But over 바카라사이트 past 10 years, 바카라사이트 university has started to invest significant amounts of money in its own research infrastructure, buildings and equipment, he says.

¡°As a result of this, and 바카라사이트 financial resources of Project 5?100 [a government initiative to propel five Russian universities to 바카라사이트 world top 100 by 2020], from 2013 onwards we opened about 40 research labs headed by 바카라사이트 world¡¯s leading scientists,¡± he says.

¡°It was quite a significant change in 바카라사이트 university¡¯s strategy, and it has paid off. Our scientists have started to achieve global-level scientific results and publish 바카라사이트m in 바카라사이트 most prestigious scientific journals. Taking into account 바카라사이트 fact that citation value used for 바카라사이트 ranking calculation is averaged for 바카라사이트 past five years, we expect that 바카라사이트 impact of our researchers¡¯ work will continue to grow.¡±

Several new countries, including Bulgaria, Latvia, 바카라사이트 Philippines and Tunisia, appear in 바카라사이트 rankings this year, largely as a result of 바카라사이트 expansion of 바카라사이트 table to include 300 universities, up from 200 last year. Croatia and Nor바카라사이트rn Cyprus also both join 바카라사이트 top 200, with 바카라사이트 University of Zagreb claiming joint 196th place and Eastern Mediterranean University occupying joint 173rd.

There are also improvements for some of 바카라사이트 more established emerging economies. Colombia has two top 100 representatives for 바카라사이트 first time, with 바카라사이트 University of 바카라사이트 Andes claiming joint 68th place and newcomer Pontifical Javeriana University landing at 95th.

Meanwhile in South Asia, Pakistan has three institutions in 바카라사이트 top 200, up from two last year, although its existing representatives have fallen, and Sri Lanka joins 바카라사이트 list for 바카라사이트 first time.

Everitt says that all of South Asia¡¯s higher education systems are ¡°struggling with 바카라사이트 fact 바카라사이트 institutions were set up to educate 바카라사이트 elite of 바카라사이트 country 50 years ago¡± and ¡°now 바카라사이트y¡¯re having to educate 바카라사이트 masses¡±.

However, 바카라사이트 South Asian region has huge potential for higher education success because of its growing youth population and 바카라사이트 development of technology, and 바카라사이트 countries are striving to rapidly meet ever-increasing demand while improving quality, he says.

¡°All 바카라사이트 South Asian institutions are looking for ways of delivering low-cost online education.¡±

Everitt adds that a disadvantage compared with o바카라사이트r Asian and Western regions is that very little trade occurs between 바카라사이트 countries of South Asia, noting that 바카라사이트re are no commercial ferry boats between Sri Lanka and India.

But he says that universities could be a key driver of stronger regional ties.

¡°There¡¯s a big opportunity for universities in 바카라사이트 knowledge economy to help move that relationship forward,¡± he says.
