India in Global Indices — Rank Workbook is a 9-page A4 revision book with a companion Excel workbook, built for aspirants who need to quote a rank in an answer and be right about it.
Every figure was read off the publisher’s own page or report, not off a round-up. That matters: while this workbook was compiled, the widely circulated Indian index lists were checked against the publishers and were wrong on most major indices, usually by carrying a superseded edition forward.
What is inside
- 19 indices with publisher, edition year, India’s rank, the denominator, score and direction of travel
- A normalised chart showing where India actually stands once different field sizes are made comparable
- Rank-over-time charts for the UN SDG Index and the Global Innovation Index
- What each index actually measures, and why India sits where it does
- Four commonly quoted indices that no longer carry a usable public rank — and what to write instead
- A sources table giving the publisher, document, release date and verification date for every figure
How to use it
- Cover the figures and recall them from memory, then check.
- Always carry the denominator and the edition year into your answer.
- Sort and filter the Excel edition to build your own cuts of the data.
- Recheck dynamic statistics against the latest official release before the exam.
Format: A4 PDF, 9 pages, plus a 10-sheet Excel workbook with sortable columns and native charts. Personal-use digital edition. Data current as of 26 July 2026.
