QS University Rankings: BRICS is an annual ranking of the top universities in the five BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Andhra University is ranked in 151-200 slab in QS BRICS and 301-350 in QS ASIA
The eight indicators used are :
Academic reputation (30%)

This is based on QS’s major global survey of graduate employers, who are asked to identify the universities they perceive as producing the best graduates.

Based on the proportion of academic staff members with a PhD, this indicator aims to assess how successful universities have been in recruiting highly qualified faculty members – a major priority for many institutions in the BRICS countries.
Papers per faculty (10%)
Calculated using data from Scopus, this indicator assesses research productivity, based on the number of research papers published per academic staff member.
Citations per paper (5%)
Again calculated using the Scopus database, this indicator aims to assess research impact, based on the frequency with which an institution’s research is cited by other researchers.
International faculty (2.5%)
This score reflects the percentage of faculty members at the university who are international, to show how successful each institution has been in attracting academics from further afield.
International students (2.5%)
