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:

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

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.
