This year, there have been some shifts in the ranks of established universities across Asia. These radar charts, showing the 2024 and 2023 pillar ranks for four institutions, reveal what is driving the changes.
All of the universities significantly improved under the research quality pillar (an area of the methodology that has been substantially updated this year). But there have been developments elsewhere, too.
The University of Tokyo is in the top five for the first time (up from eighth last year) and experienced a boost in the Industry pillar.

The Indian Institute of Science, which has a profile similar to that of Tokyo, is now 32nd, up from 48th, and also moved up the ranks in industry. Its decline under international outlook was not substantial enough to stop it achieving its strongest overall performance since 2019.

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, meanwhile, has dropped out of the top 10 for the first time, despite the research quality improvement.
