“Receiving additional funding under the institution of eminence (IoE) mandates that we should have a presence in the top-ranked institutions and therefore we have to benchmark our output with the top 100 performers globally. In accordance with the government of India’s directive, the institute is setting out to do what is mandated under the IoE,” said professor Appa Rao Podile, Vice-Chancellor, UoH.
UoH received a count of 54 and a share of 14.72 in the nature index. A count of one is assigned to an institution if one or more authors are from that institution.
