KTU Is Among the Leaders in National Rankings

This year KTU was evaluated by 56,82 points, which is by 2 points higher than the last year.

In the same manner as in previous years, most universities were evaluated not by absolute, but by relative definitions, i.e. – assigned to one student, one representative of academic staff, one administrative staff member, one user, etc. According to the organisers of the rankings, such a methodology creates equal conditions for all the higher education system members.

The universities were ranked according to 65 different criteria, which fall into 7 larger categories:

• Activities in research, arts and sports – 25 points
• Current and prospective academic staff – 8 points
• Additional value created by alumni and evaluation by employers – 20 points
• International competitiveness – 15 points
• Students and studies – 18 points
• Students and study environment – 4 points
• Student opinion – 10 points

The high schools were evaluated by the results of the school leaving exams of the 2016’s class. The exams’ subjects taken into consideration were: Lithuanian language and literature, history, English, information technologies, physics, chemistry, biology and geography.
