Overview
Presidency University is a private university in Dhaka, established in 2003 and based in Gulshan-2. Its schools cover engineering, business, liberal arts, social sciences and law. The Ulkaa Edu Rank 2027 places Presidency University in the 41-50 band. The position is computed from the published methodology. UGC figures record 2,019 students (2023) and 239 teachers, 16 of them with a PhD (2023).
The Ulkaa Edu Rank draws on indicators such as first-year intake, research output and citations per work, the share of teachers with a PhD, students per teacher and recognition in QS and THE tables. Each indicator has a published weight and a stated data year, so a band is a summary of public data and not a verdict on any one programme.
The university began on 21 July 2003. Its motto, "Sapientia et scientia", is Latin for wisdom and knowledge. It publishes the Presidency University Journal.
