Five higher education institutions (HEIs) in Iloilo are among the top 100 universities in the Philippines for 2023, according to EduRank.
EduRank. org, an independent metric-based ranking of 14,131 universities from 183 countries, uses a proprietary database with an index of 44,909,300 scientific publications and 1,237,541,960 citations to rank universities across 246 research topics.
Of the 229 universities in the country, the University of the Philippines Visayas (UPV) ranked highest in the region at 17th; followed by West Visayas State University (WVSU), ranked 46th; Central Philippine University (CPU) at 61st; John B.

These schools are situated in Iloilo City aside from UPV, which has its main campus in Miag-ao town of Iloilo province.
The EduRank’s rankings were determined by analyzing 373K citations received by 30.4K academic publications made by 229 universities from the Philippines.
To meet their basic requirements for sustainability against manipulation, rankings are based on research outputs, non-academic prominence, and alumni influence.
