PIEAS was not included in the rankings last year, while NUST has improved its rank, claiming the 417th spot. ------------------------------
Quaid-e-Azam University has also improved its position significantly from 651-700 to 551-560. Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) and University of Engineering Technology (UET) Lahore have maintained their rankings i.e. 701-750 and 801-1000 respectively. The ranking may have improved or fallen because QS only releases the ranking range for lower-ranked universities.
