| | 4 May 2017HIGHERReviewEditorialWhen it comes to global ranking of universities, India has some reason to rejoice this year. In the ranking of world's small universities (institutes with less than 5,000 students), Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore has achieved 8th rank. Constantly figuring among the world's best institutes, IISc has always been there in the top of global rankings like a lonely warrior from India, competing against the internationals universities, which have enviable track record, long history and, of course, huge budgets. Well, we certainly do better with smaller institutes and we need to admit that our universities are slightly better than what these global ranks show. However, we must replicate the same success of IISc for the larger ones by catering to the educational needs of the population.To make Indian higher education globally competitive, we not only need elite public institutions. As a large part of this ecosystem, private universities are playing a significant role in satisfying the country's growing demand for quality higher education. At present, more than 60 percent of the college-going students are part of the private higher education sector and there are many brilliant private universities, which are breaking the borders of arts and sciences, theory and practice, and taking courses across to create their own interdisciplinary major. These institutions are the epitome of developing 21st century skills, critical thinking, communication and leadership. In this issue, we have come up with our latest edition of `Top 25 Private/Deemed Universities in India Survey,' where we have identified the country's best universities in the private sector. We hope our efforts to create this exhaustive blue print elucidating the ideas about Private/ Deemed Universities would help the student across the country to make accurate decisions about their study destinations. On the cover, we feature Xavier University Bhubaneswar, which had been conceived with a vision to be recognized as a world class learning institution. Enjoy Reading.
