EduRank, a private ranking body, judges an academic institution based on three factors: research output, non-academic reputation and the impact of notable alumni.
It also provides a subject-wise ranking of academic institutions the world over.
In subject-wise ranking, LU has done well in zoology, toxicology, computational chemistry and atomic and molecular physics.
“Recently LU bagged good ranks in SCImago Institutional Ranking, IIRF Ranking, UniRank University Ranking and now in EduRank,” said LU spokesperson Durgesh Srivastava.
He said that universities do not apply for these rankings and it is awarded based on academic information available online at the beginning of the new academic session to help students know about the academic excellence of a university they are applying for.
