Educational  Institutions as  Institutions  of  Eminence)  Guidelines, 2017  for public institutions  and  UGC  (Institutions  of  Eminence  Deemed  to  be Universities) Regulations, 2017 for private Institutions. The selected Institution under this  Scheme  has  been  named as  Institutions  of  Eminence  (IoEs).  The  objective  of  the scheme is to bring selected IoE in top 500 of the world rankings in the next 10 years and in  top  100  eventually  overtime.  In  the  month  of  October,  2018,  3  public  Institutions namely Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay; Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi; and  Indian  Institute  of  Science,  Bangalore  have  been  declared  as  IoEs  under  this Scheme. Therefore, it would not be appropriate to judge the inspiring result of these IoEs in such a short time period.

The details of these Institutions are at Annexure-I.
