Four researchers from University of Hyderabad in Standford University's global list of achievers

The UoH continues to have a significant presence in the ‘subject-wise ranking of top two per cent scientists from India (all fields)’ list created by this independent study, the University said.

Twenty researchers from the University of Hyderabad (UoH) have been named in a database compiled by Stanford University, US. The University ranks in the top 2 per cent of scientists worldwide based on their research publications.

The University of Hyderabad in a statement said that among them four faculty members have been figured in the world's top 200 researchers and 20 in the top 2 per cent among Indians.
