There are 33 universities in Indonesian in this edition’s ranking; sixteen universities ranks higher this year, fourteen universities ranks lower, and three universities are new entries.

UI (ranked 56th out of 250 universities in Asia) is the leading university and has climbed three ranks year after year.
It is also the preferred university in Indonesia by 75,000 international employers surveyed by QS, and it ranks 44th in the Employer Reputation indicator. Universitas Indonesia receives the title of the second best in the Academic Reputation indicator, based on a survey of 130,000 academics and ranks 43rd – two other local universities are in the top 50 and two are in the top 100. The best ranking at the indicator level is Outbound Exchange Students with a regional ranking of 22nd, while Inbound Exchange Students ranks 31st. Ben Sowter, the Director of Research QS, said, “In this year’s edition, a comparison of universities in Asia shows that the best universities in Indonesia are enjoying recognition from the global academic community and international recruitment managers. For further advancement, Indonesia’s higher education leaders must build research capabilities and infrastructure to compete regionally with countries whose research tradition is broader.”
