Under the directive of the Prime Minister the Higher Education Commission has developed the first ever ‘Ranking of Universities’ for Pakistan. Approved through a specialist Ranking Board constituted by the Chairman of the HEC, the ranking methodology has been developed by the HEC Quality Assurance Committee (QAC) through a transparent consultative process in which various leading international ranking practices and systems were analyzed. The ranking model was developed by the QAC through extensive stakeholder participation, tailoring the process according to the ground realities of the higher education sector in Pakistan.
The primary purpose of the ranking exercise conducted by the Higher Education Commission is to share with the General Public comprehensive data on the key issues that determine the state of higher education in a particular institution. This information is being published to disseminate information on key indicators of higher education institutions in Pakistan to allow students, parents and all other stake holders to make informed decisions on higher education institutions. It also provides a transparent mechanism to universities on how they compare against their peers.
The rankings have been presented in broad subject areas, to account for the evolution of universities in Pakistan towards specialization in certain disciplines. The differing modes of operation and features unique to universities in certain disciplines would not allow for equitable comparisons to be made across the sectors. A ranking between subject areas (such as agriculture universities versus engineering universities) should not be attempted as the comparisons are meaningful only within each category. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(Rest of the information can be found on the Link Given Below)
