Quality of education matters a lot in making one’s career successful. When there’s something lacking in education, a negative impact is bound to be created. This is the reason students always select the best university in order to fulfill their dreams. But wait, do all universities do justice?
NO!
There are some who go out of the way to offer the best of education to students, while there are some that hardly pay attention to what kind of education is being delivered. Some countries make heavy investments in their university systems and so, the results are outstanding.
Times Higher Education has released the World University Rankings 2018 list of top 1000 universities, but sadly, no Indian university has made up to the top 200 list. But, 25 Indian universities have found a place in the list of top 1000 universities. On the other hand, there has been a good rise in the rankings of universities in Hong Kong, China and Singapore.
The ranking is done on the basis of various missions i.e. International outlook, knowledge transfer, research and teaching. Moreover, 13 parameters were analyzed in order to come up with this top 1000 list. Want to know which university topped the list?
Oxford University stays on top, thanks to the excellent education!
