UP and ADMU placed in the 501-600 bracket this year. While UP's ranking was the same as last year, ADMU's ranking had been slipping since being ranked 84th in Asia in 2023.

In last year’s iteration, ADMU was in the 401-500 bracket making it the lone top university since 2023.

Meanwhile, this was the first time since 2022 that UP, which has dominated the country’s universities in most international assessments, was named top university in the country.
