India less corrupt than China : Study says
According to media reports, the study gives India the 85th rank, ahead China which came at 100.
On a rating of up to 100, India scored 38, two points ahead of China's 36. India's score grew by two points over last year's assessment.
Transparency International says based on "expert opinion" from around the world, the Corruption Perceptions Index measures the perceived levels of public sector corruption worldwide.
"Not one single country gets a perfect score and more than two-thirds score below 50, on a scale from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean)," the group said.
While India is on the 85th position, the report by Transparency International rates Denmark as the least corrupt country with a score of 92. Somalia and North Korea jointly have been rated as the most corrupt countries with scores of eight.
