Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) is ranked as the second top-ranked private university in India according to the Quacquarelli Symonds World University Ranking 2022. In the 18th edition of the rankings, MAHE figures in the 751-800 band, among 1,300 institutions ranked from 93 countries.
For the Quacquarelli Symonds, World University Ranking universities are evaluated on six performance indicators: academic reputation, employer reputation, student-to-faculty ratio, citations per faculty, international faculty ratio, and international student ratio.
A press statement by MAHE said that four of the indicators are based on hard data, and the remaining two are based on major global surveys — one of the academics and another of employers. For the 2022 rankings, QS has analyzed over 96 million citations from more than 14.7 million recorded publications before evaluating 1,300 universities.
