Abstract
The ranking of higher education institutions in Kazakhstan was developed and carried out by the National Accreditation Center of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In ranking the higher education institutions (HEIs), quantitative as well as qualitative criteria were followed. The ranking of HEIs was based on three major survey questionnaires: Survey 1 concerned the academic, technical, social, and financial resources of the HEIs; Survey 2 collected data from students and faculty of each HEI; Survey 3 provided data from employers, governmental organizations, major national companies, and non‐governmental organizations.
