Phil Baty, chief knowledge officer of Times Higher Education (THE) stated, "THE Asia University Rankings are becoming increasingly competitive every year…it’s great to see India continue to secure several positions in the top 100, and very impressive to see three debut institutions in the top 200,"

He further concluded by saying, "India’s record number of participating institutions this year is testament to the willingness of its universities to stand up on the regional and world stage to showcase their strengths and benchmark against their peers. We hope that we continue to see numbers grow over the coming years as Indian universities adapt to the post-covid world and the opportunities it may present to attract and retain more regional students and academic staff as disruption to traditional talent flow continues."
