America's Harvard University remains number one in a ranking of 100 most prestigious education institutions across the world, followed by Cambridge and Oxford universities of the UK. The list does not feature any Indian university.
According to the Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings 2015, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) of the US was pushed to the fourth spot by the University of Oxford, and Stanford University was pushed to the fifth spot by the University of Cambridge, reported IANS.
Among Asian nations, Japan's University of Tokyo stood at the 12th spot. The rankings revealed that London and Paris have the maximum number of the top universities, with five universities each featuring in the list.
The United States took eight of the top 10 positions and 43 of the top 100 places, down from 46 last year followed by Britain, which has 12 such universities, up from 10 last year and nine in 2013, the report said.
As India failed to make its mark, the report quoted Times Higher Education Rankings editor Phil Baty telling, "It is really a matter of concern that a country of India's great intellectual history and its huge and growing economic power does not have a single university that is regarded by academics globally as being among the world's most prestigious."
Baty added, "Brazil, Russia and China, the other "BRIC" nations, all have at least one top-100 university in this prestigious list. It is time India gave more support to its leading universities to ensure that they can compete on a world stage."
As far as other BRIC countries are concerned, Russia's Lomonosov Moscow State University achieved its highest position yet at the 25th spot. Brazil's University of Sao Paulo jumped from the 81-90 group to the 51-60 band. China too has gained ground as its top institution, Tsinghua University, rose 10 places to 26th, while Peking University too moved up nine places to reach the 32nd spot.
The 2015 World Reputation Rankings are based on 10,507 responses from 142 countries conducted between December 2014 and January 2015. In all, 21 countries are represented in the list.
The poll attracted almost 70,000 responses from more than 150 countries in five annual rounds since the first survey in 2010.
