SR University (SRU), Warangal, has made its debut in the QS Asia University Rankings 2027, securing a place in the 701-710 rank band among universities across Asia.

Addressing a press conference on Thursday, SR University Chancellor A. Varada Reddy said the institution had secured the 19th position among State private universities in India and emerged as the top-ranked private university in the Telugu States.

These achievements reflected the institution’s progress in academic quality, research, sustainability and international engagement, he added.

Vice-Chancellor Deepak Garg attributed the recognition to sustained efforts to improve academic standards, research output, international collaborations and industry partnerships.

He said the university was focusing on interdisciplinary learning, practical training, research-driven innovation and student employability to build a globally competitive academic environment. Registrar P.V. Ramana Rao was also present at the press conference.
