In an annual survey, Delhi University has been ranked among the 100 best places to study English. The survey was conducted by the QS World University Ranking that is known to be one of the three most influential and recognized international university rankings in the world.
DU has been acknowledged to be in the same league as Pennsylvania State University, St Andrew's University and University of Sussex. Interestingly, DU's English has been rated as better than that of Nottingham University, University of Liverpool and Purdue University. Cambridge University ranked number one in the survey.
The reason for this high ranking has been attributed to DU's research and publications. DU also ranks high in MA students. Currently there are about 600 students pursuing their Masters. India is not ranked too high in technology but ideas of democracy and freedom fall under humanities that have in turn pushed up the ranking. The department is a part of the University Grants Commission's Special Assistance Programme.
