Global rankings of universities have significant implications for Indian institutions, influencing perceptions of quality and academic standing. High rankings enhance visibility, attract international students, and facilitate collaborations with foreign universities. They encourage Indian institutions to improve research output, faculty quality, and infrastructure, fostering a competitive environment for innovation and excellence. Conversely, lower rankings can deter potential students and funding opportunities, impacting growth. Therefore, universities must strive to enhance their global presence, focusing on quality education, research initiatives, and international partnerships to compete effectively in the global landscape.
