Rankings show priorities
The QS World Universities Rankings 2027 show no Pakistani university in the top 350, with Quaid-i-Azam University at 381. However, specific programs at institutions like Nust, University of Engineering & Technology, and Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute rank 100-200 in engineering, while Lums, IBA, and AKU excel in economics, business, and medicine. The article links Pakistan's low education spending (under 1% of GDP) to its poor global university rankings, contrasting it with higher-income countries with stronger educational investments.
