QS World University Rankings

DU tops locally, stagnates globally at 584

Dhaka University (DU) has successfully defended its position as Bangladesh's leading educational institution, securing 584th place worldwide in the prestigious QS World University Rankings 2026.

The achievement marks the second consecutive year the university has featured amongst the globe's top 600 institutions.

The comprehensive assessment, conducted by UK-based Quacquarelli Symonds, evaluated 1,501 universities globally using nine critical performance indicators.

Dhaka University demonstrated remarkable strength in employment outcomes, scoring an impressive 97.00 out of 100, alongside solid employer reputation ratings of 51.30.

The institution's sustainability efforts earned recognition with a score of 54.20, reflecting its commitment to environmental responsibility.

However, the university faces challenges in international engagement, recording modest scores in international student ratio (1.40) and faculty diversity (2.20).

Academic reputation stood at 30.50, whilst research impact measured through citations per faculty reached 6.90. The faculty-student ratio scored 10.50, indicating reasonable teaching capacity.

With an overall score of 28.70, the ranking underscores Dhaka University's continued progress in quality education and research excellence.

Though seemingly comprehensive, the QS assessment often overlooks contextual inequalities, favouring English-speaking, resource-rich institutions.

Metrics like employer reputation are biased, and low scores in faculty diversity or sustainability reveal deeper structural issues. Such rankings can mask underfunding, poor governance, and inequitable student experiences in lower-ranked yet locally vital universities like DU.
