How the Ulkaa Edu Rank works

Overview

Comilla University is a public university at Kotbari in Cumilla, established in 2006. It is a general university with six faculties spanning science, engineering, arts and humanities, social science, law and business. The Ulkaa Edu Rank 2027 places Comilla University in the 41-50 band. The position is computed from the published methodology. UGC figures record 6,161 students (2023) and 266 teachers, 68 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 was chartered in May 2006 and formally began teaching on 28 May 2007. The first session had about 300 students and 15 teachers in seven departments under four faculties. More departments were added with later academic sessions, and the university now has six faculties and 19 departments according to Wikipedia.

Comilla University admits students at the undergraduate level for the programmes listed on its official website (http://www.cou.ac.bd). UGC data records 1,038 new admissions in 2023.
