New Delhi:India has five institutions in the top 50 and nine in the top 100 among the top 350 Universities across 17 countries, as per the QS University Rankings Asia 2016, said a report.

The report also said that in the BRICS Rankings 2016, India continues to hold its position in the top 10 with IISC at Rank No. 6.
“India has eight institutions in the top 50 which is the same as Russia and one more than Brazil. From 31 institutions in the rankings last year, India today has 44 institutions in the top 250 of the QS BRICS Rankings 2016. The University of Delhi has taken a lead by rising from 46 last year to 41 this year,” said the report.
