Following its prestigious NAAC A++ accreditation, Mahatma Gandhi University continues to shine in international rankings. Once again, it has secured the top spot in India in the Young University ranking by The Times Higher Education, based in the UK. Earlier this month, MGU surged to secure the third position in the Asia University ranking by the same organisation.

The Times Higher Education Young University Rankings spotlight the globe’s best universities aged 50 or younger, featuring 673 esteemed institutions worldwide. MGU stands at the 81st position in this esteemed roster.

These rankings meticulously assess universities across all essential facets—teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook. Following MGU in India’s top tier are Anna University, Bharathiar University from Tamil Nadu, and the Indian Institute of Technology, which hold the second to fourth positions respectively.

Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, reigns supreme for the second consecutive year, followed closely by PSL Research University, Paris, and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

In this year’s Asia University Ranking, the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru and Anna University in Tamil Nadu lead the pack, respectively. Meanwhile, China’s Tsinghua University and Peking University maintain their dominance at the summit for the fifth consecutive year.

Notably, MGU holds a strong position at the 134th position in the Asian rankings, a testament to its academic prowess and global recognition. It proudly represents Kerala as the sole institution from the state within the top 150.

Dr. C.T. Aravindakumar, Vice-Chancellor of Mahatma Gandhi University, attributes this remarkable achievement to the enhanced infrastructure and the unwavering commitment of the  university community, propelling the institution to unprecedented heights in global academia.
