The National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) has managed to secure a position inside the top 500 universities in the world, according to Quacquarelli Symonds’ (QS) rankings for 2018.
The recently released rankings show that NUST currently ranks 437th in the world, which is 91 places higher when compared to its ranking last year.
Moreover, the Islamabad-based university has also improved its ranking from 74 to 61 in the “Top 50 Under 50” category. This category highlights universities which have registered great performance in teaching and research.
NUST has improved in each individual department as well. Currently, their departments rank at the following positions:

This is not the first time NUST has registered a remarkable position. In Asia, for the past couple of years, NUST has been regarded as the best Pakistani university. It ranks 112 amongst all Asian universities.
Other Pakistani universities which managed to break into the top-1000 universities in the world, according to the QS rankings, include:
- Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU) — 672nd place

Are you retarted or what?? you always post negative comments about Propakistani…… You look like a piece of shit who is paid by someone to establish negative image of PropPk.
Be a human, accept whats reality. I am using ProPk for a long time and they provide good content so stop these negative comments
PS. Any who contradicts with my point just check his profile

Oh boy, someone got their jimmies rustled bad. Yes, I am very critical of the content published on Propakistani, because the content they publish is pathetic. And while you may be satisfied with getting served whatever tripe they come out with, being a content writer myself, I have higher standards.
Also nice job with the personal attacks there. But before you want anyone to take you seriously, follow my one advice: grow up.
You are free to not visit at all if you’re so annoyed with the content ProPakistani publishes. ‘Getting served with’? You aren’t contributing anything to their baseline if you are using adblockers and even if you aren’t, it’s cents at best. Go adhere to your higher standards elsewhere and stop with the constant negativity in the comment sections all the time.
Being critical is different than being biased :P
What’s not new? These rankings were literally released this week.
This is not the first time NUST has made it to the Top 500 list. In fact, in the past 8 years, they’ve made the list every single time except once in 2014, when their ranking dropped to 528.
