In the list that has both, IIT-B is ahead of IIT-D. But in the overall list, Delhi outranks Bombay!"<BR/><BR/>But why is this interesting? Are there only two categories that the Universities were ranked on? What if in all of the other categories that they were ranked on IIT-D was ahead of IIT-B (but neither figured in teh top 100 list) ?Ravi Venkataramanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691637140572642594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-1023325361092286732008-10-22T14:55:00.000+05:302008-10-22T14:55:00.000+05:30Anon: These rankings are only for universities off...Anon: These rankings are only for universities offering undergraduate (or "first degree") programs. I would be worried if IISc (which is a post-graduate institution) figured in the lists!<BR/><BR/>Also, as Mahesh Shastry says, don't read too much into them, as there's some spurious stuff in there ...Abihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790560045313883673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-24909668208740340572008-10-22T14:30:00.000+05:302008-10-22T14:30:00.000+05:30where is IISc ? :Dwhere is IISc ? :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-4386781160993370812008-10-16T07:16:00.000+05:302008-10-16T07:16:00.000+05:30I wouldn't read much into this survey!

It is obviously flawed, I cannot imagine any survey ranking a college like Monash University or Nanyang Technological University, or for that matter even Tsinghua ahead of colleges such as University of Michigan, University of California San Diego, Penn State University (my college), UWisc, UMD, etc.! Not to mentions the weird rankings given to the IIT's.Mahesh Shastryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05230311759132897035noreply@blogger.com
