How did Indian universities fare on the QS ranking list?
The story so far: For the first time, in the international ranking of universities published by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), a company specialising in higher education analysis based in the U.K., Indian universities have more than 50 spots in the top 1,500. The highest rank among Indian universities goes to IIT Delhi (Rank 123), closely followed by IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, IIT Kharagpur and IISc Bengaluru. This number has increased from 11 in 2015 to 54 in 2026, with eight universities, including Ashoka University in Haryana and Shiv Nadar Institute of Eminence in Greater Noida, getting featured for the first time. What are the parameters? The 2026 ranking is based on a whole range of parameters which include the learning environment on campus, academic reputation (30%), impactful research (citations for research papers count for 20%, and international research network 5%), diversity (student diversity, international faculty and students count for 10%), student outcomes (employer reputation counts for 15%, while student placements 5%) and campus sustainability (5%). Has higher education improved? These rankings reflect how Indian universities are increasingly adapting to the norms followed by universities worldwide, and are thus becoming comparable to international universities. For instance, the average undergraduate student to faculty ratio in Indian universities is 19. In order to be internationally competitive, this number needs to be between 10-15. At Ashoka University, for instance, over the last year for about 3,000 undergraduates, the ratio was 11.5. These undergraduates come from 20 countries, which enhances the score for international diversity. Most universities in India have few international students, and most public universities cannot employ international faculty, which results in low scores in these categories. Moreover, over the last few decades, Indian universities have not put much emphasis on original research carried out by faculty and students. For STEM subjects especially, the research is traditionally done in research institutes. This is in sharp contrast to global practices, as universities are the primary institutions where creation of knowledge takes place, in addition to its transmission to students, worldwide. However, this is now changing. More and more universities, particularly IITs/IISERs and new private sector universities, are paying particular attention to research. With the advent of the National Education Plan, 2020 (NEP), which emphasises on research in universities, more and more Indian institutions will take their place on international ranking lists. Public universities used to pay very little attention to the employment opportunities of students, but professional institutes such as the IITs and IIMs have always had placement cells and employers' fairs. Now, even for large central universities, this is an important consideration. All this is crucial to international ranking lists such as the QS. How can universities fare better? As more and more universities begin to build research networks across the world, and hire quality faculty who can do research along with the necessary teaching of students, we will see the rise of Indian universities in these ranking lists. India needs to encourage international students and faculty to become part of its educational institutions and to closely work with industry in identifying potential employment destinations for students. Particular attention to environmental aspects and sustainability in campuses will also earn points for universities aspiring to be among the top educational institutions.

Manipal Institute of Technology students win award at International Rocket Engineering Competition
A team of students from the Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT), a unit of the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), which took part in the International Rocket Engineering Competition 2025 held in Midland, Texas, secured second place in the SDL Payload Challenge category. The team, 'thrustMIT', took part in the competition from June 9 to June 14 and won a cash award of $750. The MIT team competed with 138 teams, which passed the Flight Safety Review (FSR) test, a MAHE release said on Monday. Participating in the highly competitive 30K COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) launching category, the team's rocket 'Vayu Vega' successfully completed all safety protocols during the first two days of competition. The culmination of the efforts came on June 12 when 'Vayu Vega' was launched to the desired altitude and executed a flawless landing using parachute deployment systems. The 'thrustMIT' recovery team demonstrated its technical competence by successfully retrieving the rocket using GPS coordinates, with the recovered vehicle subsequently evaluated and approved by the IREC recovery team. The competition represents one of the world's most challenging platforms for aspiring aerospace engineers, attracting top-tier student teams from leading institutions globally, the release added.

The Fantastic Four First Steps final trailer: Fantastic Four rally together to face their biggest threat yet
Anticipation and excitement have only soared ever since Marvel Studios released the first teaser for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. But a close look at the final trailer for the film suggests that the first steps for the superhero team might be their most difficult yet, as Shalla-Bal, the Silver Surfer, announces the arrival of her master, Galactus. While the trailer doesn't reveal the face of the villainous 'world-eater', it does provide an insight into the expanse of the evil leader who has arrived on the planet for one reason alone: to add Earth to his collection. Fans, critics and studio itself will be hoping to chalk this film up as a win, due to the lack of moving storylines in phase-5. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is based on a retro-futuristic theme, which comes from the original comics that dealt with the mighty four, and the idea of family is at the very core. Even though it has been titled 'First Steps', the story picks up from a time when the heroes have already gained their powers and have already proved useful while defending Earth. Some changes from the previous iterations of the story include a less chaotic Johnny Storm, as the trailer doesn't necessarily portray him as a 'fly by the edge of the seat' character. The 'Thing' has also been shown to be more accepting of his own physical mutation and has been showcased as a much calmer personality. Most of these changes could again be because of the fact that this isn't their first rodeo and they have evolved as superheroes and humans. ALSO READ: James Gunn said 'NO' to Marvel's biggest hero: 'I will never let him in Guardians 3'; promises a different post-credit scene in Superman In the trailer, we see the 'family' get ready for their Sunday dinner as the Silver Surfer descends down to Earth and says, 'I herald his beginning, I herald your end, I herald Galactus.' The heroes are visibly unprepared for this threat and are not even certain that they will be able to neutralise it. As the clock for Earth's survival ticks, we also see a glimpse of Reed Richards (Mr Fantastic) and Sue Storm's (Invisible Woman) child, presumably Franklin, who appears in the comics as a supporting character and a novice superhero. The Four are definitely uncertain about their fate, but their reliance on each other provides them with hope and whatever fuel they shall require to face Galactus. Directed by Matt Shakman, The Fantastic Four: First Steps has been adopted from the original Marvel Comics created by Stan Lee. The characters of Fantastic Four were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and they made their comic book debut in 1961. The cast of the film includes Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ralph Ineson, and Julia Garner.
