How to be internationally attracted and recognised university?
1. Quality education (curriculum)
2. Quality academic staff (qualification, expertise and internationally known)
3. University's facilities, location and environment.
4. University's name at international levels
5. Quality graduates......

Academic recognition, exposure of staff at international levels, quality research, publicity, image of the university need to upgraded. This is not one man show but whole university staff according to their position and ranks.Those who are already established need to be respected and recognised not just put them a side working alone for them self not contributing to the university.
