Criteria parameters considered in the comprehensive process include Quality Assurance, Teaching Quality, Research, Finance and Facilities, Social Integration/Community Development. The ranking results are based on the data shared by universities relevant to the given standards.
The first HEC ranking was announced in 2006, second in 2012, followed by the third in 2013. The criteria for the latest one has been amended to bring it at par and more compatible with global practices. Regular rankings can help university practices to become stronger through enhanced capacity and thus help them rise in the league.
It would have been more helpful if individual component scores breakdown were released rather than the normalized aggregates.
and UCP lahore is nowhere, UCP its time to do something and make your standard
UCP Lahore is ranked 7th in the Business category.
thankyou for correction interesting to see LUMS is not listed in Business category but included in General category :S
What BULLSH*T. COMSATS made the Top 10 list but not GIKI and LUMS…???
what bullsh*t?? COMSATS has been in TOP 10 for the past many years. check out old rankings brother.
COMSATS is a joke of an institute.
as a ciit lahore student
i want to say screw you :P
Thanks for this comment. You proved my point that COMSATS produces idiots.
stop being a jerk you dont know comsats thats why you are complaining stop whining like a bich
LMFAO yet more proof that COMSATS produces junkies fit for the streets not the office. Stop being upset buddy and relax.
They pay tons for it if no one told you that. Literally TONS.
HEC classified LUMS in the general category for some unknown reasons which is like comparing apples with oranges. And they still made top 10 (7th).
For those point fingers on LUMS not being part of ranking :
No doubt LUMS is the best in term of quality of education specially at undergraduate level but while ranking universities other factors such as number of PHD’s produced, total number of students, total faculty are also considered where LUMS lacks behind other universities.
LUMS is also not included in QS world ranking where as NUST , QAU, AGA Khan are included in top 700
We should be looking at quality, not quantity. HEC ought to know and do better than this.
HEC Should be keep transparent Assessment all factor of Universities
Thanks, God I can’t find Iqra University here, otherwise I could have lost the trust in worlds existence.
Anyone knows the best university for BS Computer Science in Pakistan?
