academic ranking

Academic ranking is a system that compares and orders universities or colleges based on various factors such as research output, teaching quality, reputation, faculty qualifications, and student success. It helps prospective students, researchers, and policymakers assess the relative standing of institutions globally or nationally. Rankings often use data and surveys to assign scores or positions, providing a snapshot of an institution’s strengths and overall reputation. While not definitive, rankings serve as a useful reference tool for understanding an institution’s academic quality and competitiveness in the broader educational landscape.
