Top Bangladesh institutions by listed Top 2% scientists

University of Dhaka (22) is the densest campus row. icddr,b is a research centre, not a comprehensive university — do not fold it into a Dhaka university total. Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, home of the country’s #1 listed scholar, is not among these ten largest cohorts.

How to use these university counts
- Treat each affiliation string as the dataset wrote it (icddr,b ≠ University of Dhaka).
- Switch single-year vs career on the institution page — career Bangladesh totals only 105 scholars across 49 institutions, and icddr,b (16) leads that listing ahead of University of Dhaka (10).
- Open a scholar profile, then the certificate page if you need a printable overlay.
- For journal-level context when you cite their papers, use the Journal Quality Report.
