EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in India ranked based on their research performance in Materials Science. A graph of 19M citations received by 1.14M academic papers made by 469 universities in India was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
