Indian institutions’ performance in QS global university rankings has increased nearly fivefold since 2015, according to the Indian government’s statement cited by multiple outlets. The figures are based on QS ranking trends over the period, highlighting sustained improvement by universities in the QS system.
The Economic Times and India Today both frame the change as a substantial rise compared with 2015 levels. However, the outlets provide limited detail in the provided excerpts about which specific institutions drive the improvement, which QS category or subject areas are included, or how the “nearly fivefold” figure is calculated (for example, whether it refers to overall representation, placement changes, or another metric).
