Ranking is not a clear indicator of university’s quality


IT’S been nearly 17 years since the QS rankings (also known as THES-QS at one time) released its maiden list of the top universities in the world. It has been a roller-coaster experience for some of our leading public universities including Universiti Malaya since then.

As part of its past serving academics (Hashim is a past vice-chancellor and currently emeritus professor at UM, and Kuru is a past deputy vice-chancellor and currently honorary professor at UM’s Institute of Mathematical Sciences), we are delighted to see UM in the Top 100 even with its drop to 65th position from last year’s 59th. It is an envious position to hold among the largest cohort of world universities that have been studied by QS for the 2022 rankings.
