There is some bad news and not so good news for India. On one side, IIT have been ranked at 57 in the league of top varsities of the world (the sole entry from the Indian SubContinent). The list is topped by Harvard University followed by Cambridge and Oxford.This is a consolation for IITs as they have been longing to see there names in this league for a long time now and to my knowledge they actually deserve it. But it is a sad thing that in the list of top 200 universities, only IITs could find a place there. No other university got shortlisted.But atleast the signs are positive. It can be termed as start for the Indian Education Institutes recognition in global arena.

On the other side , India topped in the corruption ranking in the survey conducted by Transparency International on Global Payer Bribe Index. The survey takes into account the extent of bribing done abroad by the exporters. India with the BPI(bribery payers Index) of 4.62 was ranked 30 in a group of 30 countries.Even though Switzerland topped the 30 country group, its BPI was 7.81 which is far from perfect score of 10 and hence can be treated as half filled sheet in an otherwise full notepad.I do not have the entire list of participant countries but India's counterpart in this survey are China and Russia.
