Indian universities have also improved their research impact, relative to global competitors. According to the rankings, seventeen of India's 35 universities have seen a rise in their CPF score against only 12 drops in CPF.
However, Indian universities continue to struggle in QS's measure of institutional teaching capacity as 23 of them have suffered declines in QS's faculty/student ratio indicator, with only six recording improvements.
No Indian university ranks among the top 250 in the faculty/student ratio category.
