A new rating of the best universities in the world, THE World University Ranking 2022, has been published, which for the first time includes a Turkmen university - the Institute of Telecommunications and Informatics of Turkmenistan.

The Institute of Telecommunications and Informatics of Turkmenistan entered the rating with the status of "reporter" - 452 universities have applied, but do not yet meet the criteria for obtaining the title. For example, 40 Russian universities, including the Innopolis University, the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology and others, received the status of "reporter".

THE World University RANKING is a global university ranking published annually by Times Higher Education, a British journal of higher education. The Times Higher Education ranking is one of the most authoritative indicators of the success of higher education institutions in the world.

The rating is based on the evaluation metrics grouped in five key areas: education (30%), research (30%), citation (30%), revenues from the industry (2.5%) and international integration (7.5%).

The rating includes 1,662 universities from 99 regions and countries of the world.

Let us remind you that in 1992 the Turkmen State Institute of Transport and Communications (TSITC) was established. In June 2019, TSITC was abolished, and was created the Institute of Telecommunications and Informatics of Turkmenistan.
