BHU earns a place among the world's ranked universities for 2026

Banaras Hindu University has been listed among the world's ranked institutions in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings for 2026, and placed 224th across Asia in the same year. The recognition reflects BHU's deep research output across the sciences, medicine, engineering and the humanities, and its standing as one of India's premier central universities. For a campus founded by Madan Mohan Malaviya more than a century ago, the global placement is a point of pride for students and faculty alike, and a draw for scholars considering Varanasi for higher study. It adds to a steady run of strong national rankings for the university and its sister institute, IIT (BHU).
