Also, we often tend to miss that these university rankings don’t just factor in the output. They look at factors such as faculty-student ratio, international faculty and students, etc. — all of which have nothing to do with the research output. Even if subsidies in education mean that a few privileged ones might have access to these facilities at a low cost, it is not the problem we should be addressing. If JNU has “luxury” at a low price, so be it. We should aim at that being the norm and not an aberration. Therefore, we don’t need to disinvest but invest more in the research of all kinds.
