About the THE Asia University Rankings
THE Asia University Rankings use the same indicators as the THE world list but are tuned for Asian universities, so a regional list can include institutions that the world list does not.
Only a few editions have Bangladeshi entries recorded so far. We add earlier ones when we can verify them.
