Pakistan University Rankings 2006

Posted by Areeb on 05 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: Miscellaneous, University Life, Education

Recently, Higher Education Commission, Pakistan launched its first official University Rankings of Pakistan. In my view it is a good move, as it will promote the spirit of competition and awareness among the Pakistani people.

Since, I am a student of Engineering so I will stick to Engineering profession only. It is rather a pleasure for me that my university NUST is ranked as second. But one setback for me was regarding NED. How can it be ranked as No. 10th ? A long discussion has already been made about this issue at Pakistaniat [dot] Com.

I also came across the name PIEAS for the first time. Moreover, GIK should have been placed above NUST for its more research oriented and qualitative studies.

Engineering
1. Pakistan Institute of Engg. and Applied Sciences, Islamabad
2. National University of Sciences & Technology Rawalpindi
3. Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering, Swabi
4. University of Engg. & Technology (UET), Lahore
5. Mehran University of Engg. & Technology (MUET), Jamshoro
6. University of Engg. & Technology (UET), Taxila

Coming to the Business Studies Category, I will agree with HEC as LUMS and IBA are the main institutions in this category :

Business
Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Lahore
Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi

However, while announcing this ranking, Dr Attaur Rehman, HEC chairman said that no Pakistani university met international standards and none ranked among the top 1,000 universities of the world.

This is rather something shameful for us and our government should focus on the promotion and improvement of our Higher education system.
