Increased financial support from the government and prioritising education and science will make India even more competitive globally.”Globally, Mahassen warned of a concerning trend in the US, noting that while top institutions remain dominant, many others are falling in the rankings. “The decline of the vast majority of US institutions should concern the education authorities, particularly as Chinese universities benefit from years of consistent government support,” he said.Asia rankings:The University of Tokyo remains Asia’s highest-ranked institution at 13th globally.
