For $n\ge 1$, the $n^{\rm th}$ Ramanujan prime is defined as the smallest positive integer $R_n$ such that for all $x\ge R_n$, the interval $(\frac{x}{2}, x]$ has at least $n$ primes. We show that for every $\epsilon>0$, there is a positive integer $N$ such that if $\alpha=2n\left(1+\dfrac{\log 2+\epsilon}{\log n+j(n)}\right)$, then $R_n< p_{[\alpha]}$ for all $n>N$, where $p_i$ is the $i^{\rm th}$ prime and $j(n)>0$ is any function that satisfies $j(n)\to \infty$ and $nj'(n)\to 0$.
