The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2012-13 was released this week and once again, India does not have even one university in the top 200 of the world. This year’s rankings demonstrate the rise of Asian universities in a significant manner, with China (2), Taiwan (2), Hong Kong (4); Japan (5), Singapore (2), and the Republic of Korea (4) prominently figuring in the list. These rankings assess the universities on the basis of the following criteria: teaching (30%), research (30%), citations (30%), international outlook (7.5%), and industry income (2.5%).
