We follow the protocol used in our earlier studies to see how leading higher educational institutions (HEIs) in India have been faring during this period, as compared to the comparators from China.
The 2021 version of the SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR) is now online. As in earlier years, we study the progress of state-wise contributions of Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) to India’s presence from 2016 to 2021. Sector-wise, these elite research-intensive institutions belonging to the Higher Education sector are the biggest contributor to India’s academic research output.
The 2020 version of the SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR)1 has appeared online recently. In this article, we look at the state-wise contributions of Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) to India’s presence in five successive years from the latest SIR1, namely from 2016 to 2020. These elite research-intensive institutions belonging to the Higher Education sector are the biggest contributor to India’s academic research output.
We see how Indian Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) have fared in the Shanghai Rankings 2018 for twenty-two subject areas in Engineering and thirty-two subject areas in four Science fields. India has a presence in nineteen of the twenty-two subject areas in Engineering but only thirteen of the thirty-two subject areas in the Sciences in which there are institutes globally that meet the required Shanghai Rankings threshold for that area. It has no institution which can be it has no institution which can be counted in nineteen subjects. India's science research base is mainly skewed towards the natural sciences and mathematics areas. Its performance in the medical sciences field is passable and that in the social and life sciences is very dismal.

India has one of the largest higher education systems in the world, and is especially known for its engineering institutions. It has a vast network of universities spread across the length and breadth of the country including some top institutions like AIIMS, IIT's and NIT's among others. The institutions like the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National University are now occupying places in the world rankings of the best institutions. But despite number of IITs, IIMs, Universities, Law Schools and other institutions of excellence, none of the Indian Institutions finds a place in the first 100 of the top ranking institutions of the world. This article reviews the status of India's higher education institutions, their international ranking and the reforms to be taken to increase their international ranking
Academic ranking of world universities (ARWU) 2018 is released on 15 August by Shanghai Ranking Consultancy of China. ARWU has been presenting the world Top 500 universities annually since 2004. It is unfortunate that none of the Indian universities and IITs find a slot among the Top 500, except Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore ranked at 427. China has moved to 2nd position after USA on the basis of subject ranking leaving behind UK and other European countries. It is suggested to set up "Schools of Excellence" in Indian universities to improve its ranking position at global level.

Revisiting Ranking of Academic Institutions2021 •
The article provides an overview of ranking systems including its historical evolution, use of rankings by different stakeholders, ranking indicators, merits and demerits of different ranking systems and performance of Indian universities in in past one decade in global ranking systems. The article briefly describes nine global ranking systems and compares them based on weightage assigned to different categories of indicators and source of data used for ranking of HEIs. Lastly, article provides statistical inter-correlation amongst various ranking systems as well as intra-correlation within ranking systems at interval of five years (2011:2015; and 2016:2020) and 10 years (2011-2020).
Performance of Indian Universities and IITs is discussed as evaluated by Shanghai Rankings 2018.
CWTS Leiden 2018 Ranking data allows us to track the research progress of the 24 universities from India, the 18 from Taiwan and the elite C9 universities from China on quality and quantity of research output from 2006 to 2016.
