University & business school rankings represent a tried and tested outlet for prospective decision-making on their next study destination. Year by year, they have an increasing impact on the higher education institutions and their environment, influencing, for example, the decisions of the future students in their choice of schools, the government policy of financing higher education institutions as well as the way of managing the universities. How important are university rankings from your point of view?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic Prof Rohit Manilal Parikh . I personally love the university ranking system in general. Anyhow, what is suitable for one student may not be right for the others. To use the standard university ranking in turn to determine a university to apply to is not the best method. I would advise keeping the influence of a university ranking to a minimum & focus more on what type of faculty you are looking for & also where you’ll find a great match for your academic goals and personality.
Generally parents & students among their ranking always prefer to university which have already established their name &reputation .It is in t his line sometime back I have expressed my views in this respect & as such I wish to submit the same for your kind perusal .
A world class university has the name implies has placed his worthiness among student befitting to the worthiness of the program . In this line such program for the student may remain a boon for them so that they may see their distance light of their career in near line so that they may prove to be worthy of their university .
This is my personal opinion

I agree with previous replies to this important question. What I find important for assessment projects, such as University Rankings or PISA, is that they are clear on what criteria they assess (consequently what they don't too). So, each one can decide how their findings can be used.
Yes, true Konstantinos Karampelas . As for QS World University Rankings, it is given based on these 11 indicators:
With the exception or truly outstanding universities, international rankings are very important to Presidents, Rectors and senior management of many universities.
Just like the RG score.
