Punjab University should on first number . Ranking based upon PhD scholar .
Where is University of Karachi ?? which is 223rd in the world ranking. And what about "NED","Mehran","DCET"

wowww wat a joke :D
well i have some knowledge about universities ranking
Business : 1: LUMS 2: IBA (Karachi) 3: CBM 4: SZABIST 5: Karachi Uni.
Engineering: 1:NED 2:NUST 3:G.I.K.I 4 U.E.T Lahore
Medical: 1:Aga khan 2:DOW 3:AMC
" PRESTON UNIVERSITY " is soon coming to the top.....
where is MUST,,
i want 2 know how??????/ ncba&e is declared as 5th top ranking position in business education.............i have alot of doubts ab8 this overall ranking...............thats nt fair...............
This list looks like fake. Where is NED, FAST, KU SSUET ????? You must be kidding....
It was Coding guru competition in LUMS in 2010, I was in the organizer group.
Comsats topped the competition while Lums stood second and PUCIT secured 3rd...FAST protested it because it was not in top 3.
This year Comsats didn't participated ...so LUMS got 1st and 3rd and FC college got 2nd and they protested the competition again..
What I do not understand why FAST keep on crying whenever they loose some thing. CIIT doesn't really bother what people say...I am sick and tired of listening to their excuses.....
Comsats not only topped the Computer Science rankings in 2012 rather it's on top in Computer Science since 2008 Ref:Wikipedia (check your self).
SO I M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT FAST, I am only tired of FASTIANs crying when they loose.. and it's not the first time they have almost lost every competition to either UET, COMSATS or LUMS(other than the one's hosted by them)...but they still blame system and DO NOT understand that they are not a quality institute any more so they have work hard...
Impressed to see people (other than FASTians also) so much concerned about FAST and really showing there respect for it.. FASTIANS are lucky
@Rameez
Send an email to my old Lums ID...
10030029@lums.edu.pk
and you will get a response back...btwn show some credibility in your arguments, liking does not drive realities.
Further more @Imran Can't you just see FAST in list...then you should know it's real name i,e NUCES....@Rameez now see people don't even know the real name of FAST what else you were talking about.
Lastly, Ranking a particular city like Comsats Islamabad is because of the fact that these universities have 1 vice ch and 1 board of governors unlike UET which has different in Lahore and Taxilla.
This is pure BULL! No sign of FAST anywhere in IT? I mean come on!! Gimme a break. I'm not even a FAST graduate and I know its one of the best out there!
Next time city university peshawar will beat CIIT and will be #1!
Where is NED, Where is CBM(IoBM) ... In the industry CerBM grads are preferred over Iqra. and NED is no doubt one of the best Engineering Universities in Pakistan. This ranking is stupid as always.
HEC RANKING CRITERIA AND WEIGHTS Quality Assurance and Enhancement =60 Implementation status of QA criteria =18 Teaching Quality =42
and no criteria of evaluating the quality of students inducted by the university? This university ranking is as always a charade to promote some institutes.
@Rameez hassan:
Shame on you...as I immediately got a reply from Lums guy. Now I think you should not post any more comment here.
FAST does not stand among the top institutions like CITT, LUMS, NUST, GIKI and UET...
@CIIT read all the comments made above except this @Lumsguy who is a disguise and not even from lums. People said it all, they voted for FAST, whether you like it or not.
Believe me people are asking where is This Comsat because they are listening about it first time :) you can read comments above.
Btwn I am from LUMS and currently working in google...Yes CITT is a very good institute of Pakistan as I can see 3 people from Comsats joining google this year, though they are my juniors by I can see them having very nice basics of computer science.
I also think that we should also think of improving in international rankings, though Comsats, Lums and Nust a premier institutes of Pakistan but they are nowhere in international rankings...
Regarding FAST yes the criticism is true because it has lost the flavor but see Comsats and Lums are far richer than Fast, so it's understandable that FAST has gone down..
I would suggest FAST admin to hire good PHDs like Comsats and Lums because right now they are relying on their old 20 years of experienced faculty members who never even went abroad and not even did their Ms...so u can see the results.
@Muhammad Shahid:
In Computer Science , Yes that is true...CITT is better than other places, btwn I am a LUMS graduate :)
@CIIT Respect your opinion but now you are saying that Comsats is not only better than FAST but also better than Lums,Nust, Giki, UET Lahore and UET Taxilla.. Next year HEC will declare it above MIT, Stanford :P
I don't think ppl from these universities will like this :)
Cheers!!
@Ali: COMSATS is better than FAST...this is 2012 and not 1999.
Comsats has a well deserved place...it's far better than FAST....LUMS and COMSATS can be compared but FAST ...I am sorry if it hearts but checkout their dying faculty and out dated system on website and then advocate FAST.
Computer Science Rankings Comsats Lums Nust Giki Uet Lahore Fast Uet Texilla
@HEC:
I am BS in CS from Comsats and currently working at Microsoft. Comsats and Lums can be compared but FAST...I dont see it as a quality institute anymore after 2003...
Sorry FAST but this is the reality....
In CS, FASTians - Others Compete We Rule

There is no such thing on the HEC site, there are many different parameters consider while ranking universities and there mention only few.
At least we should appreciate HEC for what they achieved, Please people keep in mind that its the first ever list of its kind so errors may be unavoidable. But it will keep improving with the passage of time...Good work HEC!!
where is LSE?? where is UET? where is GIKI?
and Look where is COMSATS ??
