The Suleman Dawood School of Business (SDSB) at Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) has been ranked among the top 300 business schools of the world, by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), a British ranking agency.

While Harvard University in the United States topped the ranking, followed by London Business School in the United Kingdom, SDSB at LUMS ranked at 251.

Pakistani universities fail to make mark in Asia's best university ranking

Being the only Pakistani university to be featured on the list, LUMS took to its official Facebook page to announce the achievement.

The rankings for each subject were based on four factors:

  • Academic reputation

  • Citations per paper

  • Employer reputation

  • H-index citations


The QS World University Rankings by Subject 2017 cover a total of 46 disciplines – highlighting the world’s top-performing universities in each academic area. The rankings are compiled annually to help prospective students identify the leading universities in a particular subject. Research citations, along with the results of major global surveys of employers and academics are used to rank universities.

Last year, six Pakistani institutes of higher education were ranked among the world’s top 800 universities by QS rankings.

H Saif Ur Rehman | 6 years ago | Reply Its Good to see LUMS in Top 300 universities in the world but it is not enough. We all have to work hard to see more than one university in top ten universities of the world. And I know we can do this.
Sameer | 6 years ago | Reply The univeristies for the rich by the rich...to get further rich. Its all about the money. Imparting educations means nothing but buying a degree. The only difference between Pakistan's uni and axact is that axact doesnt make you wait 4 years for the degree you bought.
