Hyderabad: The University of Hyderabad (UoH) has retained its position in the 851-900 band in the QS World University Rankings 2027, maintaining its standing as one of India’s leading multi-disciplinary public universities on the global stage.

UoH’s strongest performances came in staff holding PhDs, where it scored 98.1, and in citations per faculty at 48.1, reflecting the university’s research output.

Prof J Anuradha, Vice Chancellor in-charge of the university, said the ranking reflected the work of faculty, researchers and students rather than any singular focus on rankings as an end in themselves.

“As an Institution of Eminence, we see rankings as an outcome of our core academic values rather than our singular objective,” she said, adding that the university was working to expand international research networks, improve faculty-to-student ratios and build strategic global partnerships.

The university, which holds the Institution of Eminence (IoE) status conferred by the Union government, said it was deploying specialised IoE funding to scale up high-impact research, file international patents and build a more diverse international student and faculty body.
