Where this comes from

Ranks are copied, with their year, from ShanghaiRanking's ShanghaiRanking ARWU 2025 and its Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2025 — LLOS does not rank universities. Addresses, websites and locations come from Wikidata; US numbers from the US College Scorecard. Admission details and country rules were read from each university's and government's own pages — every profile lists its sources and the date they were checked.

Rupee figures use European Central Bank reference rates of 2026-09-25 and are a guide, not a quote. Deadlines, fees and visa rules change every year: always confirm on the official page before you apply or pay. LLOS takes no commission from any university, agent or lender.
