Six Pakistani universities among top Asian universities: QS Ranking-2012
ISLAMABAD - Investment in higher education in Pakistan continues to reap dividends.
According to QS World Universities Rankings 2012, 6 Universities of Pakistan have won its place in the list of top 300 Universities, says a press release.
Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) UK is the world’s most renowned and prestigious ranking agency.
National University of Science and Technology (NUST-108) Karachi University (191-200) AKU (201-250) Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) (251-300) and Lahore University (251-300) are now in top 300 Asian Universities of the World.
It speaks volumes of the hard work put in by the management and faculty of these universities and consistent support of the Higher Education Commission (HEC) in terms of improving infrastructure, access to Digital Library, providing quality education, providing opportunities for conducting innovative research, establishing international linkages, engaging in collaborative research with leading international institutions/organizations, participating in international exchange programs and producing graduates who are welcomed by national/international industry, academia and corporate sector. It is essential that this growth should continue and further focus on adding quality in research and education to our other universities as well.
HEC is focusing on development of critical technologies including Biotechnology and Genetics, Immunology, Robotics and Automation, Nanotechnologies, Superconductivity, Computer Vision, Photo-optics and Lasers, Electromagnetics and Microwaves and Nuclear Fusion for Energy, etc. which are important for the strategic growth of Pakistan. The next 5 year strategy of HEC calls for universities building Pakistan. It is important that this vision become a reality. Pakistani universities have produced more PhDs in the last 9 years (3280) since the establishment of HEC than in the first 55 years (3000). Research output has grown eight-folds since 2002 (from 815 in 2002 to 6,200 in 2011) which is a remarkable achievement by any world standards. 80% of these research publications are coming from HEIs. Output has more than doubled just in the last 3 years and is expected to double again in the next 3 years. Nearly 5,000 scholars from Pakistan have been facilitated to present their research work in leading conferences of the world. Researchers from Pakistan have established academic linkages with their counterparts in every leading university of the world in the US, UK, China, Germany, France, Australia, Korea, etc.
Pakistan’s scientists, engineers and technologists are its single biggest strategic asset. Till five years ago, these were concentrated in a few strategic organizations; however, the revolution in higher education brought about by HEC has ensured that every engineering and science and technology university has started to blossom into a center of research and innovation.
HEC has integrated Pakistan and broken the elitist myth of availability of talent only in big cities by providing scholarships to talented student belonging to the middle class and poor segments of the society through a transparent process of merit.
HEC has proved itself a role model federal organization which empowers equal and full participation of all universities and provinces to facilitate higher education for the socio-economic development of Pakistan.

great going
HEC is doing a great job for pakistan by building the strong heigher education foundation ………Just Salute the HEC
those are university of bombing, university of killings, university of corruption, university of lawlessness, university of ethnic cleansing and university of street crimes.
The real point is what happens after education. What effect are the disciplines being studied having on the positivity of the country if any? And how many graduates are staying back in the country? Those are the real points. Just being on some list is worthless.
According to HEC 99% stay in country……..only 72 out of 8000 sent abroad for higher studies didnt stay in Pak and those 72 also had to pay back the amound HEC had invested in them with a panelty of 25%…………HEC give one year employment in any organization after completion of studies…….soo dont say anything bad before you know the facts………….as far as development in country is concerned i hold political setup that has failed us many times responsible……….
200% AGREED!
It feels good to see that Pakistani universities are making the ranks once again. Now I can proudly tell other nationality friends of mine that my country has an excellent education system and ranks in the top list………It helps in building a good impression about Pakistan. We seriously need this right now.
very good news
very good news
The point of success behind these universities is the no. of students which enter is equal to the no. which get degree.HEC should notice all those universities in pakistan which only create saturation in field i.e these universities give a large no of admissions without providing facilities to those students such as agriculture university faisalabad.As a result these universities produce scholars which are dull,substandarad and without practical knowlegde.
I second that
I cannot speak for other universities but I respectfully disagree with your conclusions if you are labeling LUMS in this category as well. Being an alumni, I can say all of my colleagues who joined at the beginning of the MBA did not attain the MBA at the end, the reason was that they were not good enough.
The intensity of hard work combined with practical field trips and lets not forget the rigorous case based method of teaching culminates in the most refined MBA student body in the country.
I can understand that for someone who did not go to LUMS this might be hard to understand, as they would think the work pressure would be similar to their own university experience. The fact is the industry rates LUMS MBA's above any other institution in Pakistan. They are not bound that they must rate LUMS above the rest but choose to do so because they have recognized through the experience they have attained by recruiting LUMS MBA's, that they are by far the most productive on aggregate as well as the most refined for the corporate culture in Pakistan. Over the past 25 years LUMS MBA's have worked their way to the top of the corporate ladder in both Pakistan and across the world. McKenzie & Company the worlds best consultancy recruits direct from the LUMS campus. the same cannot be said for all of the business schools in Pakistan.
To sum up I will say that if all business schools in Pakistan are created equal than LUMS is more equal than the others. In the end you have your opinion and I have mine.
Good day to you.
I second you
I am agree with you, if these things continue then we will repent in future.

Great Going
but where ar other two , only mention the names of 4 universities of Pakistan in above mention report.
its not 4 uni mentioned their r 5 uni mentioned in above discriptn
good step but still not be something to proud of, in 300 top asian universities.. would good to see around 10 Pak universities in top 100 asian and 5 or so in top 100 around the world, that will be something to be proud of.till then keep progressing in right direction folks!
listed only 4 universities where 2 other universities?
Really proud of it , atleast in education sector Pakistani Universities are doing well and maintaning the world wide cretria
do you people realize that we are competing against people who had 500 percent more literacy rate than us in 1947? Our literacy rate was 4% when India had near 40%, China had near 35%, even now Bangladesh and then east Pakistan had 26%. It is a matter of pride and honour if we can have one university in that group facing that kind of odds. I do not mean that we could not have done better but you have to realize that we just simply did not have the infrastructure or the mindset for this kind of achievement. Also remember that in case of India and China nearly 40% means that nearly twice the people who lived in Pakistan were literate in 1947.
xcuzme madm ,
how you say that we should proud of it , you know no uni of pakistan in first 200 uni in the world , its want to hard struuggle,
I feel proud to be among the Alumni of AKU. It is high time to appreciate governing body and management of all the universities who topped the international ranking. What makes these institution a top one are the hard work, enthusiasm and zeal.
good sign but need to improve…
AKU topping LUMS
how come? Is it Al Khair or Azad Kashmir?
relax dude ,, the trickle down effect will surely take place…… will take some time
aga khan university khi
Touseef bhai this is Agha Khan Uni. Its very good for medical and better than LUMS though not the same fields.
Agha khan dhukkan
^ Agha Khan University
where is Punjab University , the m0ther of all uni in Paki ?
proud to be teh NUSTIAN….
Credit goes to Dr. Ataurrehman!
Great Achievement
they are five which one is the sixth university
It's not correct. I have seen the QS Ranking. Please have a look at the following link.
http://www.topuniversities.com/institution/nation…
The above link is QS world Ranking of NUST.
Ur link shows 2011 ranking, this is latest, released few weeks before
This link is for world ranking while the article mentions top ranking in asia only
It is correct . Mr.
How does this compare with the list that was issued by HEC recently.
Pls share the source. i couldn't find nust being ranked 108 on the QS site :/
Check 2012 ranking ,
http://www.topuniversities.com/university-ranking…
Check NUST at 108 number.
GIK??
Karachi university (K.u) rockZ……..
So sad to see such happy comments. We should had set our target to be at the top in the world. By the way, we can be at top if Quacquarelli Symonds is encouraged to do ranking for MADRASSAS.
Good to see NUTS in the ranking…
NUST
Sir its NUST, Mr. NUT
good one sharukh…
where the hell iz Punjab university????
Not in the the list is Punjab University, Lahore. WHY??? Ask Islami Jamiat Tulaba or Their parent Jamat e Islami.
When you suffocate a place of learning then that place goes down.
These people will never learn and keep their grip on PU.
If someone places AKU at 201 compared to the higher ranking of NUST, then this ranking is in doubt.
To the Author: You have given the names of 5 pakistani universities. Here is the Top 6 Pakistani Universities list for 2012 year according to their scores calculated by http://topuniversities.com website:
1. NUST, Islamabad
2. University of Karachi, Karachi
3. Aga Khan University (AKU), Karachi
4. University of Engineering & Technology (UET), Lahore
5. Lahore University of Management & Sciences (LUMS), Lahore
6. University of Lahore, Lahore
I think this is factitious article there in no source of information are given and not any valid link which can validate the information given in the article.
Please give the ranking link.
I doubted about the ranking of "University of Lahore".
http://www.pkstudent.com/rankings-2011/world-rank…
its a good news to see these university among top 300 around the world while on the other hand we have to see the education difference in pakistan also, one can able to take education from these universities by paying higher amount in the name of fees etc while on the other hand child of a poor person can even able to do the matriculation, in we moving around then we easily see that the big difference between education even from lower level had in our society in the form of O level A level or govt school private school
Very Good! But need to be in top 100 World Ranking…
Whats about University of Lahore…I think its a best University as it was also in top 500 World Ranking …Right or Not…???
Punjab University is not on the List…Strange ? Absolutely NOT…As ''Islami Jamiyyat Tolaba'' Has Destroyed this University and the Environment of Study….Should be Banned …Every Student Organization should be Banned …Whats Your Opinion…???
Five mentioned, which is the sixth university to make it to top 300? Do I see my alma-mater UCP making it here anytime soon?
jo log itna proud kar rahe hai wo parh b liya kare
Research output may have grown but the quality has most certainly not, the quality of doctoral work is gauged by the number of citations a piece gets and that has not actually increased. Just increasing the number of papers is not an end in it self. If education has to improve the change has to come bottom up with investment in primary education. As that is the stage where critical thinking is induced and real broad based change could be expected from.
proud to be a LUMINITE
why ?? dude its between 251-300. n that too in ASIA .
I dont see your point….lol
Appears that news clip probably sent from HEC to media. News report is loosely written, .Despite mentioning six universities in the title names of 4 universities only is given . Ranking of the universities is also not mentioned.
If this is the standard of HEC office for news report God only is saving the education system. But yes, a good sign at least
exgagerrated!pakistan should heavily invest in education to give itself a chance of staying in competition.pushing money in military hardware will pak to nowhere
Good, i believe after a long period of 62 years pakistan should have produced good number of universities of repute.there was atime when pakistan had been accommodating students from abroad.
What about IQRA UNIVERSITY- no. 1???
I thng ths ranking is nt corct
thank God wehave agood news for pride
and where is university of peshawar…. one of the prestigious university in pakistan
i think its FAKE lol where is the name of other universities, they wrote SIX universities but mentioned less Y o Y?
I wonder the ranking is always done by foreign bodies which is always biased. Where goes the public universities.
Thanks God! There is some good news too.
sorry what u mean by top? there is no pakistani university in top 100 in asian ranking , this is the orgional link , see if u can find one , http://www.topuniversities.com/university-ranking…
its really a gud news.
thank GOD khuch to achievement dekhne ko milli… bt HEC should allocate more funds for the universities…..make these universities accessible for the lower class people as well.
these universities should maintain their ranking bt also try to increase it.

firstly i would say great to the blogger cause you put the great information which could be a hope for students who think that our education is not standard at some extent they are right but it can not be neglect that the above mentioned universities are also one of our native country then why these are only counted its because of their management ,schedule ,Rules regulation ,and the infrastructure including the staff is better and based on merit ,l also recommend that all the Public or private institutions they may also supported by the legal sector either pvt,or gov and play vital role in qualitative productivity.
Where is N.E.D University of Engg and Tech?
Higher education should be the top priority of our nation (excluding politicians), as the political filth only works for profits from sugar mills and scandals, destroying every institution in the country including education and infrastructure. The nation should unite with the military, clean the political scum, and engage full gears for real development!
http://www.topuniversities.com/university-ranking…
Its QS Asian University Rankings not QS World University Rankings data!
the university of lahore.nice to c it am0ng the world..
Lol, i just checked it there is no pakistan university in qs rankings, not even in top 100. universites of hong kong china korea make top 10.

We should all be grateful to Dr Atta-ur-Rehman
Study is a metter of life or death for muslim student
Credit should also go to Prof Ata ul Haq and President Pervez Musharraf for these achievements
NUST is doing great. Being a fresh graduate from NUST, I can see the difference. This is really positive that there should be more competition among Pakistani universities as competition leads to proficiency. May one day many universities from Pakistan would be in this list. Pakistan zindabad
Remember this is Asian ranking not world ranking
These rankings can be improved by paying the ranking agencies.
Ok, so everybody is going crazy having read such good news. Surely its good news but i guess Asia's top 300 universities should not be the target. We should strive for the world's top 100 and iA we will
Dont know much about QAU, but PU and BZU are actually crap … how many international scientific paper they have published, what contribution did they make in international community.
These ratings are made according to research papers and how many quality PhD any university produces.
Is any body asked what is ranking of Indian Universities? Does their efficiency/ performance/ standard match with our versities?
way better than ours.
Indian institute of technologies are among the top 50 in Asia and they are 6 of them.
Their research and advancement in technological fields is way better than ours.
two of the IIT's also have ranks in top 100 universities.
Its like NUST multiplied by 50.
we have a loong loong way to go my brother. i dont see why are we proud for not even being in top 100 of ASIA.

The result is satisfactory though we are not even top 100. This good result goes to HEC, we should not forget that, the HEC given structured by Pervaiz Musharaf government and by his appointed minister Dr. Atta ur rehman, We must say thanks to both. We should also acknowledge that this HEC become a hurdle for Corrupt politicians to be in the politics, also for this , thanks to Dr. atta and team.
