What Are the Ranking Criteria for Universities in Pakistan

The Higher Education Commission (HEC) ranks universities based on their performance. The HEC rankings are based on several indicators, which are listed below.

1. Quality of Education and Teaching: Quality of education and teaching is measured using different parameters like the number of students enrolled per faculty member, student-teacher ratio, graduation rate, etc.
2. Research Output: This includes the number of research papers submitted by a university, the number of citations received, and the impact factor of journals publishing these papers.
3. Faculty and Staff Quality: This includes factors like the number of PhDs among faculty members, the percentage of international faculty members, and the percentage of female faculty members.
4. Graduate Employability: Graduate employability is an important factor in how universities are ranked. It measures the extent to which graduates can get jobs after graduation.

 Employers are interested in the skills and knowledge students gain during their studies and their ability to apply these skills in practice. This can be demonstrated through various projects, internships, and companies’ ongoing training programs.

5. Outreach and Internationalization: Outreach and internationalization are important components of a university’s ranking. They can significantly impact a university’s global visibility, which is one of the primary indicators for determining a university’s ranking. 

The number of international students, their country of origin, and their academic performance all play an important role in improving a university’s reputation. You can also check complete details about univeristies admission.
