SRM University-AP’s debut in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2027, securing a place in the 𝟭𝟬𝟬𝟭–𝟭𝟮𝟬𝟬 band, marks an important milestone in the University’s pursuit of global academic excellence and institutional quality. Sharing his perspective on this achievement, 𝗗𝗿 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗸 𝗥𝗮𝗷𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗻, Associate Dean – Quality Assurance and Rankings (QAR), SRM University-AP, says: “Participating in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings for the first time and entering the 1001–1200 band is a significant milestone for SRM University-AP. For us, the importance of this achievement goes beyond the ranking position itself. A global ranking framework gives a young institution an opportunity to understand where it stands against established international benchmarks and, equally importantly, where it needs to improve. Our strong performance in International Outlook, with a score of 58.5 and a fifth-place position in India on this indicator, is particularly encouraging and reflects the University’s growing global engagement. The first submission has also helped us strengthen our understanding of institutional data, quality processes and global benchmarking. We will use this experience as a baseline to continuously improve, measure our progress objectively and build an institution that is recognised for sustained excellence rather than a single ranking outcome.” A milestone that establishes a foundation for continuous improvement, reinforcing SRM University-AP’s commitment to international benchmarks and sustained institutional excellence. #SRMUniversityAP #THEWorldUniversityRankings #THERankings2027 #AcademicExcellence #InternationalOutlook #QualityAssurance #GlobalRecognition #HigherEducation #SRMAP
