Sir: As per news reports, the QS World University Rankings 2019 has included seven Pakistani universities into the prestigious annual index of global varsities.
Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS) has been ranked as the country’s highest-ranking university at 397, whereas NUST stands at 417. In a country where literacy rate hovers around 58 percent and where education has become a very profitable business for many and getting higher education is only a dream for many, those educational institutions that are delivering knowledge of international standard with devotion, dedication and perseverance must be applauded.
These institutions deserve government’s special attention for their up-gradation and improvements in labs and other facilities with letter of appreciations. Of course stands tall in this list. Undoubtedly, PIEAS has a distinguished and unique system of education that inculcates in the minds of students, technical education as well as moral norms and values. Hats off to the faculty and management of PIEAS for keeping Pakistan’s head higher in the world of Education. Bravo PIEAS, Bravo.
