In an encouraging development, 29 Pakistani universities have made it to the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings for 2023.
According to the 2023 World University Rankings, Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU) leads the chart among Pakistani universities on the list. QAU is followed by Government College University (GCU) Faisalabad, and the University of Management and Technology.
Besides, 24 Pakistani institutes have been assigned with a “reporter” status on the 2023 rankings. What this means is that they submitted the required data for evaluation but did not meet THE’s eligibility criteria to receive a rank on the 2023 list.

It’s possible numl didn’t apply for the ranking
Numl is not a Pakistani university. It is a affiliated university of UK
That is NAMAL not NUMAL and is in mianwali bro.
نمل یونیورسٹی بریڈفورڈ یونیورسٹی سے منسلک ہے

Tum ne apna jahil patwari hona sabat kar diya.
NUML aik government university hai Islamabad mai.
Youthia is synonymous with merit.
Gee, this rating is by A very learned “Patwaari” ha ha ha. What a joke.
In baton ki waja sy hi hum pechy reh gaey,hum ny aik dosry ka greban pakrry rakha or dunya traki k zeny charti rahi.
SUTTY RUHO
“absolutely not”……..
Such kaha.
NUML bilkul zero hai aj kal
students and teachers of namal remain busy in attending and dancing and singing Azadi march, there is no concept ot teaching or research here. so result is obvious.
I have same question 🤔
When everybody wants to become politician then this will be the ranking. However ranking doesn’t matter in Pakistan. We still in a g

Punjab university is not shown ?
It’s no. 20 …. among 800 to 1000 :(
Please also mention the latest HEC Ranking of Pakistani University.
The universities with higher standards have lower rankings , why is that?
Ranking is not set be gentre but with publications sir
Hazara university Mansehra is number 9 in Pakistan and 501 in all over the world 👍
This seems to be fake as times itself not maintained the quality of their ranking chart, because at # 3 two universities are appearing, while no university is ranked at # 4 and than the list starts from #5 haha
Its called a bracketed position means 2 unis have the same exact qualities which qualifies them both for the same position. Next spot is then left blank to show this particular scenario
4 likhna bhool gay..
Isley 3.. 2 bar likh dia. 😂
Oxford and Cambridge are ahead of most American universities. Wonder what that implies.
I think it’s not a certified list
Yes good question
Yes
I am really impressed with the system management and teaching methods in the university across UK and USA . As a student of English Literature and Linguistics , I wanna get a PhD from oxford university. May Allah Almighty help me and give me the courage and patience to achieve it.
InshyaAllah
Justified Ranking. Some Universities in Pakistan are missing.
Thanks for sharing this eye opener.
The best University Selection measure must be to see, who enrolled the maximum numbers of weak and poor students and made them outstanding.
