THE Asia University Rankings 2025: The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) remains the highest-ranked Indian university in the Times Higher Education (THE) Asia University Rankings 2025, securing 38th place. Anna University and IIT Indore follow at 111 and 131, respectively, as Indian institutions face tough competition from leading Asian universities, particularly in China, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
The Times Higher Education (THE) Asia University Rankings 2025, released on April 23, highlight the evolving landscape of higher education in Asia. This year’s edition ranks 853 universities from 35 countries and territories, evaluating them on teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook. The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) continues to lead the Indian contingent, securing the 38th spot in Asia, though it slipped six places from last year’s 32nd rank. Anna University and IIT Indore are the next best performers, ranked 111 and 131, respectively, while Mahatma Gandhi University follows at 140.
Despite maintaining a strong presence in the top 200, most Indian universities have seen a marginal decline in their rankings, reflecting increased competition and the growing prominence of institutions in China, Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong. China dominates the top of the list, with Tsinghua University and Peking University holding the first and second spots. Notably, all six of Hong Kong’s ranked universities have entered the top 50 for the first time since 2017, underlining the dynamic shifts in Asia’s academic landscape.
Key Highlights: Indian Universities in THE Asia Rankings 2025
IISc Bengaluru: Highest-ranked Indian university at 38th position, overall score of 65.2, down from 32nd in 2024.
Anna University: Second among Indian institutions, ranked 111 with a score of 52.3, up from 119 last year.
IIT Indore: Ranked 131, score of 49.4, maintaining its position as a top engineering institution.
Mahatma Gandhi University: Ranked 140, down from 134 in 2024, score of 48.6.
Other notable Indian universities in the top 200 include Shoolini University (146), Saveetha Institute (149), Jamia Millia Islamia (161), IIT Guwahati and KIIT University (184), Aligarh Muslim University and UPES (188), IIT Patna and NIT Rourkela (191), and IIIT Hyderabad (200).
Regional Trends and Global Competition
Asia’s higher education sector is witnessing rapid transformation, with China, Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong strengthening their positions. Tsinghua University and Peking University top the rankings, while Singapore’s National University of Singapore and Japan’s University of Tokyo also feature in the top 10. The inclusion of new countries-Uzbekistan, Bahrain, Mongolia, and Syria-demonstrates the expanding influence of Asian universities. All six Hong Kong universities entering the top 50 is a significant milestone, reflecting the region’s growing research and academic prowess.

What the Rankings Mean for Indian Higher Education?
The 2025 rankings underscore both the achievements and challenges for Indian universities. While IISc, Anna University, and IIT Indore continue to represent India at the continental level, the marginal decline in ranks signals the need for enhanced research output, global collaborations, and innovation. With 20 Indian institutions in the top 250, India’s academic sector remains vibrant but must adapt to the rising standards set by regional peers.
