Cambridge University in results is tops (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

summits

'is tops' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'cambridge university in results' is the wordplay.
'cambridge university' becomes 'MIT' (MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'results' becomes 'sums'.
'mit' placed inside 'sums' is 'SUMMITS'.

(Another definition for summits that I've seen is " tops".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
