BRICS University Ranking System to Be Launched Through India-Russia Partnership

Debjit Chakraborty, Director of the Chamber for Indo-Russo Technology Collaboration, announced plans for a new BRICS university ranking system. The initiative will be developed jointly by India and Russia as part of broader academic cooperation. The ranking aims to benchmark higher education institutions across BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. It seeks to enhance transparency, quality assurance, and international recognition for universities in the bloc. The system will likely incorporate research output, innovation, and global engagement metrics. This move aligns with BRICS’ goal of strengthening educational and scientific ties. Implementation details and timelines have not yet been disclosed. The ranking could reshape how BRICS universities position themselves globally.
