About the QS Asia University Rankings
QS Asia University Rankings compare universities in Asia with a method adapted from the world ranking, with extra attention to inter-regional collaboration and to the mix of staff and students.
More Bangladeshi universities appear here than in the world list, which makes it a useful second view for institutions outside the global top 1,000. Some early editions on this site are partial, and are marked that way.
