The Times Higher Education Young University Rankings evaluate the world's leading universities that are 50 years old or younger, using the same performance indicators as the main THE World University Rankings but with adjusted weightings to reduce the emphasis on reputation. The 2024 rankings feature 673 universities globally, including 15 from Bangladesh.
