This year, the global rankings analysed nearly 14,000 individual university programmes from 1,440 universities across 85 locations around the world.
The final rankings were decided based on four major parameters: The institute's reputation among academics, reputation among global employers, the number of research citations the university achieved per paper in that subject, and the 'H-index', which measured the productivity and impact of each published scholar of the university.
Like every year, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) held the top spot in the rankings.
Country-wise, six universities from the US featured among the top 15 institutes.
China followed with 13 institutes in the top 200 and 28 institutes in top 400.
For the first time, 12 institutes from India featured in the top 100. This includes seven engineering institutes from India that made it to the top 200.
