Long conspicuous by their near absence on global lists of top rated institutes, Indian colleges have finally found recognition among the world's best 20 in the maiden list of leading small universities.
Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati and Savitribai Phule Pune University have been ranked 14th and 18th, respectively, in the list, released by Times Higher Education on Monday.
Small universities are defined as those having fewer than 5,000 students, and equipped with facilities for instruction and research across more than four disciplines. IITG Director, professor Gautam Biswas sees the institute's achievement as a boost for the entire northeast. The country's second institute on the list, Savitribai Phule Pune University , is one of only four among the world's 20 best small universities that cover all the six broad subject areas (arts and humanities, medicine and clinical, engineering and technology , physical sciences, life sciences, and social sciences).
India's institutions are well represented in the World's Best Small Universities Ranking 2016, said Phil Baty, Times Higher Education rankings editor.
