According to the 2016 Asia University rankings released by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), Indian Institute of Technology-Madras is now among the top 50 institutions in Asia. The institution has jumped 13 places from its position last year and now ranks at 43^rd position.

Bhaskar Ramamurthi, director IIT-Madras says that the jump in the rankings is primarily due to two main factors – increase in the number of research publications and an excellent faculty/ student ratio of 1.14/15. The other Indian institutions to feature in top 50 are IISc Bangalore (33), IIT-Bombay (35), IIT-Delhi (36) and IIT-Kanpur (48).
