45 KIIT Faculty Members Ranked Among World’s Top 5% Scientists in SciRank Global Index 2025

In a major global recognition for KIIT-DU, 45 faculty members of the University have been inducted into the prestigious Global Scientist Index 2025 published by SciRank Global, placing them among the World’s Top 5 per cent Scientists.

The SciRank Global Registry is an independent, transparent benchmarking platform that evaluates researchers based on merit using rigorous bibliometric analysis. The 2025 index assessed more than 10 million active researcher profiles and nearly 50 million scholarly works worldwide. Scientists included in the Top 5 per cent category are considered to be more productive and impactful than 95 percent of their peers globally.

This recognition highlights the university’s commitment to a research-driven ecosystem that supports quality publications, innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

The accomplishment reflects the visionary leadership of KIIT and KISS Founder Dr. Achyuta Samanta, whose focus on research-led education, societal impact and global academic standards has helped the institution attain several international milestones over the years.

According to the methodology adopted by SciRank Global, researchers are selected on the basis of a rigorous Normalized Composite Score (NCS), which evaluates scientific impact through publications, citations and other bibliometric indicators. The index also ensures transparency and inclusivity by covering all major academic disciplines and using data sourced from OpenAlex, one of the world’s largest open-source scholarly databases.

The inclusion of KIIT faculty members in this elite global registry will further strengthen KIIT’s international academic standing and provide enhanced opportunities for research collaboration, innovation and student mentorship.
