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.
