Indian IITs Rank High in QS World Rankings for Electrical and Electronic Engineering

IIT Delhi and IIT Bombay rank 47th and 50th respectively in QS World University Rankings 2025 for Electrical and Electronic Engineering. IIT Delhi has an overall score of 76.5, while IIT Bombay has a score of 76.9. The rankings feature 550 universities worldwide, with the US dominating the top three positions. Nanyang Technological University (NTU) surpasses National University of Singapore (NUS) as the top Asian university, and the University of Cambridge leads in Europe.

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and IIT Bombay have experienced a slight dip in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering rankings in the QS World University Rankings 2025. IIT Delhi ranks 47th, and IIT Bombay ranks 50th, with overall scores of 76.5 and 76.9, respectively [1]. These rankings feature 550 universities worldwide, with the US dominating the top three positions [2].

IIT Delhi and IIT Bombay have been consistently ranked among the top engineering institutions in India and globally. However, their positions in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering rankings have seen a decline compared to their overall university rankings. This could be attributed to the intense competition in the field and the ever-evolving landscape of technological innovation.

The QS World University Rankings 2025 assess universities based on six key indicators: academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty student ratio, citations per faculty, international faculty ratio, and international student ratio [2]. These indicators are carefully calibrated to assess institutions across five key areas: teaching, research environment, research quality, industry engagement, and international outlook.

Despite their slight drop in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering rankings, IIT Delhi and IIT Bombay continue to excel in various fields. IIT Delhi is recognized for its strengths in computer science, engineering, and mathematics, while IIT Bombay is known for its research in engineering, natural sciences, and social sciences [1].

The decline in the UK and US higher education sectors' reputations is a noteworthy observation in the QS World University Rankings 2025 [1]. This trend could potentially impact the rankings of institutions like IIT Delhi and IIT Bombay in the future. However, with their strong foundations and commitment to excellence, these institutions are well-positioned to continue competing on the global stage.
