QS released the ranking on 3 November. GAU also secured 98th place among universities in South Asia, placing it among the region’s top 100 institutions, and ranked 86th across Asia in the Citations per Paper indicator. A total of 1,722 universities from 26 countries and territories across Asia were featured, said a press release on Monday.
GAU VC G K M Mustafizur Rahman said a university’s true progress should be measured not merely by infrastructure or student enrolment, but by its ability to generate knowledge, advance research and translate academic excellence into meaningful contributions to society.
He said the recognition was a renewed call to take greater responsibility for the university’s academic and research mission, and that GAU remains committed to improving research quality and impact, expanding international collaborations and fostering innovation.
