LAHORE: The Punjab University will make it to the list of top 200 universities in the world if the policies of the current administration are continued in the coming years, Punjab University vice chancellor Mujahid Kamran said on Saturday.

He was speaking to students after announcing the BSc Chemical Engineering (session 2006-10) results and distributing certificates among the position holders.

Affan Mahmood secured the first position. He said the university needed more funds for research if it was to increase the number of PhDs.
