Why do IITs Lead the Way in Rankings?

Reasons as to why IITs consistently rank higher than Delhi University (DU) in national and international university rankings. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Focus and Specialization: IITs are specialized institutes that mainly focus on Science and Engineering. 
    • This concentrated focus allows them to excel in these specific fields, which are heavily emphasized in most university ranking metrics.
  • Diversity of Education: DU, on the other hand, offers a much wider range of subjects, including Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Law, and Medicine, besides Science and Technology. 
    • While this diversity caters to a broader range of students, it makes it difficult for DU to compete with the laser focus of IITs in their specific domains.

In simpler terms, IITs specialize in areas that are heavily weighted in university rankings, while DU’s strength lies in its well-rounded approach to education.
