Lahore, October 13, 2022 (PPI-OT):THE Names UMT Pakistan’s Number 1 Private Sector University

The latest report of Times Higher Education – the leading global authority on university rankings – has placed the University of Management and Technology (UMT) at the number 1 position among all private sector universities in Pakistan.

The findings were part of THE’s World University Rankings 2023. The rankings have long been considered the definitive list of the world’s best universities and rank universities according to 13 carefully gauged performance indicators that include teaching, research, citations, international outlook, etc.

This year, the ranking was topped by the University of Oxford.

For 2023, THE ranked 29 Pakistani universities in total, while it placed 24 other universities on its “reporter” status as they failed to provide the necessary information for being eligible for ranking

THE named Quaid-e-Azam University as the top-ranked university in Pakistan, placing it in the 401-500 band. However, the title of the top private-sector university in Pakistan went to UMT, which was included in the 501-600 band, making it one of the top 600 universities in the world. UMT’s remarkable feat was made possible by an almost perfect score for research citations, validating UMT’s immense focus on research output.

UMT President Ibrahim Hasan Murad felicitated the UMT family on this remarkable achievement and said the results spoke volumes about the varsity’s focus on academic quality and research. He said the university management would now concentrate efforts on making UMT the best university in the region.

Lahore, September 21, 2022 (PPI-OT):The Office of Research Innovation and Commercialization (ORIC) is proud to share the remarkable achievement of Mr Muhammad Bilal Sher Khan Shirwani, who has started a startup by the name of Cross Wind Innovations (CWI) from the ORIC-UMT platform. Mr Muhammad Bilal Sher Khan Sherwani with his team members Mr Khawar Umar and Mr Atif under the supervision of Mr Tanveer Ul Haq manufactured a Car Rotisserie machine, used for denting, painting, abrasive blasting or soda blasting the body of a car.

Car Rotisserie is also used for working on the framework of a vehicle and can support a load of 2 tons. The body of a vehicle is loaded on it, which can then be rotated across the x, y and z axis with 360-degree rotation and perfect to get the job done fast and efficiently. The rotisserie can also be extended to accommodate longer vehicles.

Currently, Car Rotisserie is not manufactured in Pakistan. However, importing the Car Rotisserie into Pakistan will cost around 10 Lakh rupees for two-axis and 14 Lakh rupees for five-axis machines.

Mr Muhammad Bilal Sher Khan Shirwani, manufactured a Car Rotisserie machine which will cost 3.5 Lakh rupees for a two-axis and 5 Lakh rupees for a five-axis machine. It is an excellent achievement to promote the local manufacturing industries of Pakistan.

We hope this achievement will encourage other UMT students, researchers and faculty members to put their efforts into their beloved country with the same zeal and zest.
