These rankings are based on several indicators such as academic reputation, employer reputation, Faculty/student ratio, staff with a PhD, papers per faculty, citations per paper, international faculty, and International students.

The institute published a separate ranking for India for the first time in 2019 and IIT Bombay had topped the India list even then; the premier technical institute was ranked number 8 among top institutions in BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa).
