Alagappa University has won the 20th place in the British Quaequarelli Symonds (QS) India University Ranking – 2019 and placed at the 104th position at QS BRICS ranking of Universities 2019.
Quaequarelli Symonds (QS) is the ranking agency assessing the world educational institutions across the globe and ranking the institutions on the basis of their academic performance. BRICS Universities denoted institutions of higher learning and research in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
About 9,000 institutions were assessed for BRICS ranking and Alagappa University got the 104th position, Professor N. Rajendran, University Vice Chancellor said on Tuesday. Only 75 Universities were shortlisted for QS India ranking and among these institutions Alagappa University secured the 20th place, he said.
The university was the foremost Arts and Science University in Tamil Nadu to obtain this place. Prof. Rajendran said the British agency Quaequarelli Symonds has assessed the performance of the Alagappa University on the parameters such as academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty student ratio, international students, faculty staff with Ph.D, papers per faculty and citations per paper.
“This is the first time QS India University Ranking has been done,” Prof. Rajendran, who received the certificate at a special function in New Delhi on Monday, said. The certificate was presented by Rajiv Kumar, Vice-Chairman, NITI Aayog, and Jason Newman, vice-president of Quaequarelli Symonds.
He said the University has secured an overall score of 42.4 and attributed the good performance to the hard work put in by the syndicate members, faculty, officials, administrative staff, students and other stakeholders. “This is an honour and academic milestone for the University,” he said.
