"Indian universities are world-class. Now less Indians will have to travel abroad for better education. Indian education is now not just good, it is amongst the world's best," he added.

The Union Minister also said employer reputation or employer credibility with Indian Universities is at an all-time high.
"PM Modi's vision of empowering our youth starts with education and universities being reformed. In Asia Indian universities are seen from an employer reputation point of view as the best," he said.
This year for the first time 45 Indian Institutions got ranked in QS World University Ranking.
The CEO of QS also congratulated 'Chandigarh University' for securing 780 ranks and becoming the top-performing Indian private university.
"I'd also like to congratulate Chandigarh University as the top performing Indian private university that came in the 780," he said.
"And we hope that our worldview rankings and QS rating systems and other initiatives will continue to carry that momentum forward as we see more Indian universities performing even better in the years to come," he added.
