What are the top Universities in Kansas? Shikhadikkha answers this question by publishing the 2025 Shikhadikkha University Ranking of 20 Kansas higher-education institutions meeting the following Shikhadikkha selection criteria:
- being chartered, licensed or accredited by the appropriate US higher education-related organization
- offering at least three-year bachelor’s degrees or postgraduate master’s or doctoral degrees

Shikhadikkha aims to provide a non-academic League Table of the top Kansas Universities based on valid, unbiased and non-influenceable web metrics provided by independent web intelligence sources rather than data submitted by the Universities themselves.
