What are QS World University Rankings and why do they matter?

QS stands for Quacquarelli Symonds. It is a study abroad consulting firm that releases rankings each year as published by topuniversities.com

It has three sections:

- Global overall ranking

- subject rankings (best university in the world for 51 different subjects)

- five composite faculty areas and regional tables (Asia, Arabian region, BRICS, Latin America, Europe, and Central Asia)

The rankings released by QS are one of the prestigious international rankings that measure the performance and popularity of universities worldwide. Overall, this useful information helps decide which university is best for the aspirants.

On the basis of various factors, the firm assigns grades to these institutes each year. They also consider reviews of higher education professionals, corporations that hire graduates, teaching equality, and the ratio of international faculty and students at universities to calculate QS rank universities.

As per the latest QR Rankings 2022, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA is ranking at the top. It has been in the top place for the past 10 years. Here are a few more universities that have reached the top 5 spots:

·        University of Oxford - 2

·        Stanford University - 3

·        University of Cambridge - 4

·        Harvard University - 5

As per the Indian Institutes, the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) is ranking 177th with an overall score of 46.4. For other Indian Institutes:

·        IIT Delhi - 185

·        Indian Institute of Science Bangalore - 186

·        IIT Madras - 285

·        IIT Kanpur - 277

·        IIT Kharagpur - 280

·        IIT Guwahati - 395

·        IIT Roorkee - 400

Discussing American and British universities, some of the college ranking outcomes are predictable. There is hardly any variation from year to year in their rankings.

It is true higher ranking universities must be considered when selecting a college for study abroad but do not miss out on other aspects like affordable education and campus facilities. It is best to rather depend solely on QS rankings, conduct thorough research, or visit career counselors for better suggestions.
