Abstract: Global university rankings are increasingly used as tools for assessing university effectiveness and shaping educational policies. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the participation of Kazakhstani universities in the international rankingsQS, THE, and ARWU. The study reveals both positive dynamics and persistent institutional barriers for Kazakhstani universities.The research methodology includes quantitative and qualitative analysis of university positions, as well as comparative analysis. The findings show that the main problems with the global positions of Kazakhstani universities are related to insufficient scientific productivity, limited internationalization, and a disconnect between public policy and institutional practice.
