Under engineering, the IITs (both old and new) have bagged the first eleven positions. And surprisingly - according to these rankings - IIT Madras has overtaken IIT Bombay. IIT Madras topped the slot with a weighted score of 89.42 followed by IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Delhi and IIT Kanpur with weighted score of 87.67, 83.91, 82.03 and 81.07 respectively.
According to the report, 12 NITs have been ranked amongst first 50 institutions led by NIT, Tiruchirappalli at rank 12. As many as 10 NITs are interspersed between ranks 51 to 92. Vellore Institute of Technology has grabbed the 13th rank while PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore is at rank 24. Both these colleges are the only two private institutions who have acquired the top slots amongst the IITs and NITs.
The report called IIT Hyderabad, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Ropar, IIT Patna (rank 7 to 10), IIT Indore (rank 16), IIT Mandi (rank 20), IIT Jodhpur (rank 25) and IIT Bhubaneswar (rank 26), set-up in 2008-2009, as the rising stars since all these new IITs secured positions within the first thirty slots.
"Clearly there are deeper lessons to learn here. Having said that, there are interesting new institutions, which are slowly but surely creeping into the top-slots. We should certainly watch out for them in the years to come. It is also possible to argue that some of the parameters like funding for library and laboratories, load the dice in their favour, and it would be interesting to see how some of these institutions would perform on “outputs” and “outcomes” on a per Rupee investment scale" states the MHRD report.
