Quaid-e-Azam University has also improved its position significantly from 651-700 to 551-560. Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) and University of Engineering Technology (UET) Lahore have maintained their rankings i.e. 701-750 and 801-1000 respectively. The ranking may have improved or fallen because QS only releases the ranking range for lower-ranked universities.
Previously unranked, COMSATS (751-800) has also made it to the top 1000 universities in the latest rankings.
