IITs in the list of the top 1000 global universities:
Indian educational institutions believe that the rankings are not made based on right parameters. Thus, they are largely dependent on the international perception factors that don’t reflect the Indian education quality accurately.

Challenges faced by India to make it into the top 1000 global universities list:
Indian educational institutions constantly struggle in the institutional teaching capacity area that is measured by the faculty to students ratio. Around 23 institutions have witnessed a drop in rank due to this. But, this ebb is due to the increased number of students via the introduction of the EWS category. Thus, the ratio goes down due to the student population. Also, the covid-19 pandemic is equally responsible as it has restricted foreign students from coming.
