Hindustan Times · education

Galgotias University has outperformed the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) on the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings' 'research quality' metric, raising concerns about the ranking methodology. Galgotias scored 67, ranking 23rd, while IISc scored 51.5 and ranked 64th among Indian institutions. This parameter, accounting for 30% of the overall score, has faced criticism for yielding questionable results. The university's research credentials have previously been questioned following an incident involving a robotic dog at a summit.
