Seven professors from Vignan University, located in Andhra Pradesh, have been recognised as belonging to the top two percent of scientists worldwide, a distinction highlighted in a recent New Indian Express report. The ranking is based on a bibliometric analysis that evaluates research output, citation impact and international collaboration, placing the faculty alongside leading scholars from premier institutions.

The university’s management welcomed the achievement, noting that it reflects the sustained research efforts of its academic staff across disciplines such as engineering, biotechnology and computer science. The accolade is expected to enhance Vignan’s reputation, attract higher‑quality research funding and encourage more collaborations with global partners.

While the specific methodology of the ranking was not detailed in the article, the university plans to publicise the full list of recognised scholars and promote the findings through its outreach programmes. The recognition also aligns with the state’s broader push to strengthen higher‑education research capabilities.
