This year, 27 subjects from 12 Indian universities have made it into the top 50—up from 12 subjects last year. IIM Ahmedabad secured the 21st position in management and marketing.
IIT Delhi was listed in the top 50 for six subjects. Courses from IITs in Chennai, Kharagpur and Mumbai, along with Jawaharlal Nehru University and BITS Pilani, also featured within the world’s top 50 in their respective subjects.
