The Logical Indian congratulates IISc for topping the list and at the same time congratulates its staff and students over the years for creating a premier science institute. In 2015, IISc was the only institute to made to the list of Top 100 universities of the world. We request the government to take necessary steps to improve the state of educational institutes around the country, and to put efforts to make these institutes world-class so that more students prefer studying in India instead of going abroad.
