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.
