The list represents 800 rankings which is the largest number of THE rankings ever. Of these 147 ranks are reserved by US universities. These include California Institute of Technology which claims pole position for the fifth time in a row. As is clear from this table, the big boss USA, despite of boasting maximum universities, is losing its grip as compared to institutes/universities in Europe which have come up in their rankings. The world dominance of the universities in US has gone down in the THE World University Rankings 2015-16. 

However a comparison with the last years release will show the decline of the big boss US. Only 63 US universities feature in the top 200 this year, which is down from 74 last year. Out of these, 6 make the top 10, which is one less than last year. While the US universities have been sitting comfortably, the list clearly shows that their dominance in the world of education cannot be taken for granted.

It is not so much to say that the US universities are declining or losing their game, but the other countries are improving and moving into the top 200 category. UK has improved its standing from last year, featuring a total of 78 institutions and universities in the top 800 and 34 reserving the first quarter, an increase from 29 last year. Along with UK other European countries have also shown good improvements. Germany boasts 20 universities in top 200 this year, a rise of 8 universities from last year. Netherlands added one more to last year ranks and reserved 12 ranks in the first quarter this year. A new non-Anglo-American face is seen in the top 10 for the first time in a decade – Switzerland’s ETH Zurich!

In the rankings’ 12 year history, for the first time the city-state of Singapore has claimed Asia’s top spot for the National University of Singapore (NSU). NSU, along with China’s Peking University and Japan’s University of Tokyo, stand in among the top 50 rankings overall. Asia has ups and downs this year. China remains steady featuring 37 universities in the top 800, including 2 in the elite 50. However, Japan and Korea have seen better years. Japan lost 3 institutions in the top 200 from last year, featuring only 2 this year. And Korea was able to manage just 1 in the top 100, down from 3 last year. But the silver lining for Japan is that it stands third in terms of the number of institutions represented in the list, featuring 41 in the top 800.
