None of the Indian universities including IITs have figured in top 200 in international rankings, the most recognized rankings being Times Higher Education and QS World University rankings.
At the same time we lack any such ranking being done for higher education institutes by recognized bodies at national level, except rankings done by some magazines like India Today from time to time. These factors have led to external peer review being proposed for IITs by eminent people from academia and industry.
The reviewers are proposed to be selected through a process involving IIT Council and Board of Governors of various IITs.
Besides an internal audit has been proposed before external peer review. The audit is proposed to be for all departments to judge their standard.
