KIIT Faculty Ranked Among World’s Top 5 percent Scientists in SciRank Global Index 2025

Bhubaneswar (Odia Gossip Bureau, June 16): In a major global recognition for KIIT-DU, 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 regarded as an independent and transparent global benchmarking platform that evaluates researchers purely on merit through 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.

The recognition underlines the university’s emphasis on building a research-driven ecosystem that encourages 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.
