Kerala University, MG University make strides in global rankings

The University of Oxford has yet again emerged as the top university in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2025. The university retained its top position for a ninth year in a row.

As per the official website of THE Rankings 2025, "The institution's performance has been bolstered by significant improvements in its income from industry and the number of patents that cite its research, as well as its teaching scores."

Ranking at the second spot, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is now the highest-ranked university in the US. It replaced Stanford University, which has dropped from second to sixth place, its lowest position since 2010. The downfall in the scores of Stanford is driven by declining scores for teaching, research environment and international outlook, the official website mentioned.
