This year’s QS Rankings by subject feature 55 individual subjects across five broad subject areas. 1,559 institutions were ranked worldwide across these subjects. NSU has been consistently ranked in subject categories, added the release.
Professor Atiqul Islam, vice-chancellor of NSU, expressed his contentment for the results, thanking the support of the Ministry of Education and the University Grants Commission, while adding that “NSU will continue in its path of achieving even more glory in coming years.”
Qualifying for the Economics and Econometrics programme for the first time shows NSU’s commitment towards comprehensive excellence.
