Pencapaian ini juga merupakan kedudukan terbaik UKM sejak tahun 2016, sekali gus mencerminkan kemajuan yang signifikan dalam tempoh sedekad lalu. Kejayaan ini lahir daripada pelaksanaan transformasi strategik yang mampan, berteraskan kecemerlangan akademik, penyelidikan berimpak tinggi serta pengukuhan jaringan global yang semakin kukuh.

Penarafan ini dibuat berdasarkan 18 indikator prestasi utama yang merangkumi aspek pengajaran, penyelidikan, hubungan industri dan pengantarabangsaan. Pengiktirafan yang diterima oleh UKM ini berasaskan penilaian komprehensif yang meliputi:
✨ kualiti pengajaran dan persekitaran pembelajaran
✨ kekuatan serta reputasi penyelidikan
✨ impak dan pengaruh penyelidikan
✨ keupayaan inovasi serta pemindahan ilmu kepada industri
✨ keunggulan jaringan dan keterlihatan antarabangsa

Kejayaan ini mencerminkan usaha kolektif seluruh warga UKM dalam memperkasa ilmu, memperkukuh daya saing, serta mengangkat nama universiti dan negara di persada dunia.

Seiring dengan itu, UKM kini memulakan pelaksanaan TEKAD 57 sebagai kerangka strategik baharu universiti bagi menggerakkan hala tuju UKM untuk tempoh 2026 hingga 2030. Kerangka ini diharap dapat menjadi pemacu penting dalam melonjakkan kecemerlangan universiti ke tahap yang lebih tinggi, di samping memperkukuh peranan UKM sebagai peneraju ilmu, inovasi dan pembangunan negara menjelang Malaysia 2057.

Daripada potensi kepada prestij, UKM kini berdiri teguh sebagai antara universiti terbaik di Asia. Berteraskan semangat Iman, Ilmu, Amal, UKM akan terus melangkah dengan yakin, terus unggul dan terus memacu kecemerlangan di persada global. 🌏🇲🇾✨
