How the Ulkaa Edu Rank works

Overview

World University of Bangladesh (WUB) is a private university in Uttara, Dhaka, established in 2003. It is a general university with business, science and engineering, and arts and humanities faculties. The Ulkaa Edu Rank 2027 places World University of Bangladesh in the 41-50 band. The position is computed from the published methodology. In the QS Asia University Rankings 2026 it sits in the 1301-1400 band. The THE World University Rankings 2027 lists it as a Reporter institution. UGC figures record 3,976 students (2023) and 178 teachers, 24 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.

WUB was established on 26 February 2003. A board of trustees governs it, and the President of Bangladesh is Chancellor. Its motto is "Utilitarian Education for Economic Emancipation".
