RAEX university rankings have been published annually since 2012. The aim of the rankings is to assess

which higher education institutions provide graduates with high quality knowledge, skills and competences based on the conditions for acquiring them and the results of their application.

RAEX used statistical indicators and the results of surveys of more than 120,000 participants: representatives of academic and research communities, students and graduates, as well as employers. In 2023, 212 out of 710 higher education institutions operating in Russia competed for places in the ranking.

When assessing the conditions for acquiring quality education in HEIs (weight 50%), the groups of indicators "level of teaching", "international integration", "resource endowment" and "applicants demand" were considered. The groups of indicators "cooperation with employers" and "career quality of alumni" were analyzed to assess the employers' demand for university graduates (weight 30%). The level of research activities of the university (weight 20%) was determined based on the groups of indicators "research and scientific potential", "scientific excellence" and "research infrastructure".

RAEX ranking of Russia's universities has successfully passed the international audit by IREG Observatory, the largest international institutional non-profit association of ranking organizations, universities and other bodies interested in university rankings and academic excellence.
