Khaled: Only some aspects considered in varsity ratings
PETALING JAYA: The QS Asian University Rankings consider certain aspects about the universities assessed, said Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Khaled Nordin.
“Other aspects our universities focus on, including community engagement and contributing to societal development, are not taken into consideration in the rankings,” he said in a statement here yesterday.
It was reported on Thursday that five of Malaysia’s universities made the top 100 this year – Universiti Malaya is the highest ranked at 42, followed by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia at 58 and Universiti Sains Malaysia at 69. Universiti Putra Malaysia is at 77, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia at 82 and International Islamic University Malaysia at 159.
