Lahore, December 05, 2022 (PPI-OT):The Globethics.net University Ranking (GUR) provides the first global ranking instrument that places values, ethics and sustainability as central principles of higher education institutions worldwide.

The motto is “Ethics in Higher Education”

Methodology: The overall ranking of universities aggregates data based on the identification of which institute is most committed to providing impactful positive experiences for students, staff, the environment, industry and society. Institutions that participate in the ranking get a short survey of students and staff. These surveys are analysed by Globethics.net to generate a new, independent ranking of universities.

It is indeed a matter of great pride that the University of Management and Technology applied to this ranking for the first time and became the only Pakistani university to be ranked 20th out of 25 world universities for the 2022 edition.
