How the Ulkaa Edu Rank works

Overview

R. P. Shaha University is a private university in Narayanganj, established in 2013. It is also written as Ranada Prasad Shaha University and shortened to RPSU. The Ulkaa Edu Rank 2027 places it in the 51-75 band overall and in the 31-40 band among private universities. The position is computed from the published methodology.

UGC figures record 1,009 students and 55 teachers in 2023, of whom 5 held a PhD. That works out to about 18 students per teacher. The Ulkaa score for the university rests on a smaller set of indicators than for larger institutions: first-year intake, intake growth, teachers with a PhD, students per teacher, accredited programmes and web presence. Research output is not part of its score because no matched research record exists for it. A band is a summary of public data, not a verdict on any single programme.

The university has no entry in the QS or THE tables held by Ulkaa.

R. P. Shaha University was established in 2013 in Narayanganj. Wikipedia gives its motto as "Ever to Excel".
