World university rankings and Indian universities

摘要

Efforts have already been started to recognize and confer the special status ‘University of Excellence alias Navaratna University’ to some of the central universities, where quality research will be carried out to achieve better international benchmark. The selected universities will get additional funding, more operational autonomy like faculty hiring, setting up campus abroad, competing for international projects and collaboration, etc.2. However it is not known whether there was a shortage of funds for pursuing quality research in our top institutions; had enough autonomy not been given to institution like IITs in hiring faculty of their choice and even to the extent of hiring foreign faculty; any restriction on collaborating internationally or competing for international grants, etc.
