UlSTU has improved its position in the RAEX local ranking
The rating agency RAEX has presented the second version of the local ranking of universities by federal districts. UlSTU has risen by eight positions compared to the previous ranking and took second place among universities of the Ulyanovsk region and 18th place among 55 universities of the Volga Federal District.
In total, the new ranking includes 304 higher education institutions from 79 regions of the country (in all eight federal districts of Russia). The first local ranking of December 2021 included 327 universities from 79 subjects of Russian Federation. The current version of the ranking assessed the level of education at the university (quantity – 45%), scientific achievements (quantity – 25%) and social activities of the university (quantity – 30%).
The local university ranking is a part of the "Three University Missions" (MosIUR) which was founded by the Russian Union of Rectors with the information assistance of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia. The Association of Rating Makers (ARM) was chosen as its operator. ARM members include leading rating and research centers (Expert RA, VCIOM, Reputatsiya, etc.).
The methodology and system of indicators used in compiling the lists make it possible to objectively evaluate universities, the quality of whose work largely determines the trends and pace of development of the subjects of the federation. The main focus of the ranking is not to identify national leaders, but to evaluate a wide range of regional and highly specialized universities.
