After ranked first by the Ministry of Education last August, Jamia Millia Islamia went on to internationally rank 195 in the Times Higher Education Emerging Economies University Rankings 2021.

The Times Higher Education Emerging Economies University Rankings includes only institutions in countries classified by the London Stock Exchange’s FTSE Group as “advanced emerging”, “secondary emerging” or “frontier”.

The rankings use the same 13 performance indicators as The World University Rankings to judge institutions on their teaching, research knowledge transfer and international outlook. However, they have different weightings to reflect the development priorities of universities in emerging economies.

Expressing her happiness over the improvement Prof. Najma Akhtar, Vice-Chancellor, JMI said, “This reflects JMI’s growing international presence and outreach besides the university’s impetus on high-quality research, publications and teaching. JMI hopes to improve upon its performance for higher ranking in future”.

"Overall, there are 606 universities from 48 countries in the ranking this year, up from 533 in 2020", read the Public Relations Office statement of JMI.
