LONDON, Nov. 25, 2020 — QS Quacquarelli Symonds, global higher education think-tank and compiler of the world’s most-consulted university rankings portfolio, has today released the latest edition of their annual list of Asia’s best higher education institutions. The National University of Singapore is the continent’s best university for the third consecutive year.

The 2021 QS World University Rankings: Asia compares 650 universities and is QS’s most extensive independent comparison of the Asia region’s higher education system. The table accounts for eleven key indicators of university performance. They reflect:

• Academic standing,
• Graduate employability
• Research quality
• Web presence
• Internationalization on campus, and
• International collaborations’ diversity.

• The 650 featured universities are in 18 locations across Asia. The most-represented area is Mainland China (124 ranked universities). Its closest competitor systems are India (107), Japan (105), South Korea (88), Taiwan (43), Pakistan (40), Malaysia (35), and Indonesia (30).

• China’s Tsinghua University rises to 2nd - its highest position in the history of the ranking, while Shanghai Jiao Tong University enters the top ten for the first time.

• The University of Hong Kong (HKU) is Hong Kong’s top university but drops one place.

• Universiti Malaya breaks into the top ten for the first time, and 24 of Malaysia’s 35 universities have improved their position.

• Japan has more universities in the top 50 of the ranking (11) than any other nation, location, or territory.

• South Korea’s top university is Korea University (12th).

• Six of Asia’s top ten universities for research productivity are Indian. However, Indian research quality does not match quantity, and Indian teaching capacity and employability scores decline.

• IIT Bombay (37), IIT Delhi (47), IIT Madras (50), Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (56), IIT Kharagpur (58), University of Delhi (71), IIT Kanpur (72), and Jawaharlal Nehru University (81) lead the universities from India.

• NUST Islamabad (76), Quaid-i-Azam University (106), Lahore University of Management Sciences (121), COMSATS University Islamabad (146), University of Engineering & Technology, Lahore (175), Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Islamabad (176), Punjab University, Lahore (178), and University of Peshawar (217) lead the universities from Pakistan.
