IISc and IIT - Delhi ranked among top 100 in the Global University rankings

The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and Bombay have made it to the list of top 150 institutions in the ‘Global University Employability Rankingʼ. The annual rankings is done by the French HR consultancy Emerging and is published by the ‘Times Higher Education’. The list is topped by Harvard University and is followed by California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “India’s performance in the employability ranking has been somewhat inconsistent since the list was first launched in 2011. It still only counts three universities in the top 150, suggesting it’s struggling to make the reputational ground with employers that some other Asian nations have achieved,” said Simon Baker, Data Editor at ‘Times Higher Education’. The ranking shows the improvement in India’s institutional provisions but has not kept the pace with the progress made by the other countries in the region and globally. “There is some solid improvement this year for India, however. In the 2018 global listing, the Indian Institute of Science rises one position to 28th, while the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi soars this year to place global 53rd, from 145 last year,” notes the report. The report reveals that most countries value soft skills such as collaboration and communication - whereas harder, practical skills are valued most in China. “Today’s digital world makes for a constantly evolving workplace – the skills required in many roles will need regular updating and it has become impossible to determine which of them will change tomorrow, and how,” said Laurent Dupasquier, Managing Partner at Emerging. “While digital skills are increasingly valued by recruiters, more than anything, universities must instil in students the capacity to adapt and keep learning: these will be crucial skills for success not only to cope, but thrive in a transforming workplace. University-industry collaboration will also be of increasing value, in order provide students with the necessary on-the-ground experience,” he said.

Delhi government soon to test the learning levels of the students

Next month the Government of Delhi will test the comprehension abilities of the students in Hindi, English and Mathematics. Their comprehension abilities will be tested by their respective class teachers and the findings will be collected by the Directorate of Education (DoE). The exercise will take place between December 10-20. “The aim of the exercise is to identify where we stand after two years of government intervention in these areas. On the basis of the findings and the magnitude of needs that we will identify through it, we will take a call about the scale at which the interventions will have to be carried forward next year,” said Director of Education Sanjay Goel. In July 2016, the Delhi government, in a similar comprehension exercise, found that only 44 percent of the students of classes VI-VIII could read the test of their level. As a result, to improve the learning levels among the students ‘Chunauti 2018ʼ was launched. Under the scheme, the students were divided into two groups of readers and non-readers. For non-readers, the government has arranged an extra hour of classes between September 5 and November 14, 2016.
