Top 600 World University Rankings
Dear Alumni
This following is from Moin Ahmed, NEDUET, Mech Class of 1974
The Times of London published recently its 2008 World Rankings of 600 Universities. Of course, US and European schools were in all the top categories with China, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Philippines being the most prominent ones from Asia. Pakistan, India and Bangladesh were also featured but were not in the top rankings. India's IIT schools did well in the Technology Group. NEDUET is not ranked. Perhaps they did not participate.
The Rankings are categorized in seven categories as follows:
1. Top 100 Universities of the World- Overall Rankings
2. Complete Overall Rankings - Includes about 600 Schools
3. Top 100 Technology
4. Top 100 Arts and Humanities
5. Top 100 Life Sciences and Biomedical
6. Top 100 Natural Sciences
7. Top 100 Social Sciences
Here they are:
Top 100 Universities of the World
Full Rankings of Universities
I have summarized some key features for Asian schools only. See the attached document.
I do not have time to work on it anymore and post it to all the different alumni groups as I am leaving for Pakistan soon. Could you please collaborate with me on this and fine tune it as necessary and publish it in your blogs and Pak Alumni website under both our names.
Let me know what you think about it.

The latest edition of the world's top universities from The Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) has few surprises in 2009. The top 10 Universities are: Harvard (US), Cambridge (UK), Yale(US), UCL, London (UK), Imperial College, London and Oxford (both UK, joint 5), Chicago (US), Princeton (US), MIT, Massachusetts (US) and California Institute of Technology (US). As always, the top of the list is dominated by American and British Universities this year, together making up about 40% of the entire list of 200. The US universities account for more than a quarter, while the UK institutions make up about 15% of the top 200 universities. Outside of the US and the UK, there is fair representation of Australian, Canadian and European institutions and a smattering of Asian universities from China, Japan, South Korea, India, Singapore and Malaysia.
The number of Asian universities in the list of top 100 has increased from 14 to 16. The University of Tokyo, at 22, is the highest ranked Asian university, ahead of the University of Hong Kong that stands at 24.
