The University of Hyderabad has been placed in the 851–900 band of the QS World University Rankings 2027, released on Thursday by Quacquarelli Symonds. The edition assessed 1,504 institutions across over 100 locations, with 98 new entrants this year. UoH’s showing arrives as India logs its strongest-ever national performance, with a record 52 institutions on the global list, up from 14 a decade ago, making it the fifth most-represented nation after the US, Britain, China and Germany.
IIT Delhi led nationally, climbing to 118th, the best rank ever for an Indian university, with several other institutions also notching record highs. Within that surge, UoH held steady on research-linked indicators, scoring 48.1 on citations per faculty and 53.4 on sustainability, alongside a strong 98.1 for faculty holding PhDs and 17.1 on academic reputation.
However, the UoH’s international faculty and student ratio stayed low, at 1.8 and 2.4, mirroring a gap, the ranking system has flagged across most Indian institutions. University Vice-Chancellor J. Anuradha said the university views rankings “as an outcome of our core academic values rather than our singular objective,” citing plans to widen international research ties and improve faculty-student ratios.
Backed by Institution of Eminence funding, UoH aims to scale up high-impact research, file more international patents, and build a more globally diverse student and faculty community ahead.
