India’s presence in the global medical and dental education landscape has grown significantly stronger this year, with several premier institutions earning top spots in the Times Higher Education (THE) Asia University Rankings 2025. At the forefront is Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, which has been ranked the number one Indian institution in the Medicine and Dentistry category.
This recognition reflects Saveetha’s consistent efforts in academic excellence, advanced research, and healthcare innovation. The institute’s world-class infrastructure, emphasis on clinical exposure, and collaborative research have placed it on par with some of Asia’s best universities.
Following closely behind are other distinguished Indian institutions—Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI), Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Banaras Hindu University (BHU), and Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT). These universities have demonstrated impressive performance across crucial parameters including teaching quality, research output, citation impact, international collaboration, and academic reputation.
This growing presence of Indian universities in global rankings marks a transformative shift in the quality and perception of medical education in the country. With more students now choosing Indian institutions for their MBBS and dental degrees over foreign alternatives, it underscores the rising trust in homegrown academic excellence.
At Abhyspeeth, we celebrate this milestone and encourage aspiring medical and dental students to explore the opportunities these top-tier institutions offer—not just for a degree, but for a future built on excellence and global relevance.
