IIT Delhi tops Indian institutes' rise in THE global employability ranking

While IIT Delhi's rank was unchanged from last year, IISc Bengaluru climbed 10 places to 61st spot; other institutes forming country's top-5 were IIT Bombay (97), IIM-A (162) and IIT-Kharagpur (170)

Ranked 27th, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi leads Indian institutions' rise in the latest annual Global Employability University Ranking and Survey (GEURS) on the back of subject specialisation and graduate skills.
