This is pretty sad, bro. Maybe it’s time to stop making claims like “Vishwaguru” and “Harvard of the East”? China, HK and Singapore may legit ask why they should not be called Harvard of the East.
Also, one point to note is that these rankings give additional weightage to international students and faculty. As a result, Japan and South Korea fall outside the top 10, as they offer very few English courses (whereas China, HK and Singapore do). But in India all our courses are in English, so we should be doing better!

Thus, the title was given to NLSIU in a particular context and at a particular time. Unfortunately, the other countries have moved far ahead of us, while we are stuck with freebies, reservation and corruption. So the title is not valid now
Same for law - how many Big Law partners from these places???
These rankings are useless!
And what’s this obsession with “Harvard of the East”? We don’t need to be anyone’s East or West. Harvard should be dreaming of becoming the IIT of the West! Our IIT grads are building the future of the world, while others are just busy making fancy campuses for rankings.
Let them keep their “scores”. We’ll keep our brains, our jugaad, and our Made-in-India moon landers. Bharat doesn’t need validation from some foreign list!
