Senior faculty members of the Institute of Business Management (IoBM) have rejected its ranking released recently by the Higher Education Commission (HEC).
In a statement issued on Saturday, the faculty members said they believe the HEC ignored or misinterpreted the data submitted by the institute. Crucial data on teaching, research and quality assurance was not incorporated.
“It is more distressful to note that the IoBM, which has always enjoyed reputation as one of the top tier business schools evidenced by its quality of intake, faculty and placement of graduates, was ranked so low,” they said.
“Mistakes made by the HEC are also obvious protests by other universities and articles appearing in the press by individuals supporting the fact of unfair ranking,” they added.
The IoBM faculty members demanded that the HEC revisit the data and also implement the shortcomings recently mentioned by the HEC chairman himself.
The faculty members said they feel that once the data is carefully scrutinized, the IoBM will be one of the top business schools of Pakistan. Ed Universal, Paris, in its rankings of the world’s business schools, has already ranked IoBM as one of the best business schools of the region, they pointed out.
HEC must surely redo their ranking and analyze fairly, no doubt IOBM has strived and maintained to be one of the reputable business schools of pakistan and deserve to be in the ranking of top business schools of Pakistan.
I second Miss Sidra Naeem's above comments.
